To be heavy, weighty—both in a physical and abstract sense. The word can denote literal heaviness or weight, but more commonly, it expresses being heavy in importance, honor, or significance, and sometimes, in a negative sense, burdensome, oppressive, or dull. In the intensive (pi‘el) and causative (hiph‘il) stems, can mean to honor or make glorious, or to make heavy (burdensome).
