         DefinitionShort: pertaining to a state of not having life

         Glosses: ['lifeless', 'inanimate']

         Comments: In some translations it may seem strange or even meaningless to speak of ‘musical instruments’ as being ‘lifeless’ or ‘not alive,’ since everyone would obviously know such a fact. It may therefore be necessary to translate as ‘even musical instruments like the flute and the harp, which are obviously not alive, nevertheless produce a sound.’
