tongue
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, singular, absolute state; grammatically common gender (often treated as feminine). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun directly denotes the physical tongue, the organ used for licking and speaking, from the root meaning 'to use the tongue.' This singular absolute form preserves the concrete organ from which extended senses like speech or language derive. |
