מַנְעֻלָ֖י/ו
𐤌𐤍𐤏𐤋𐤉/𐤅
manʻûwl
its locks
A physical device used to secure the entrance to a door, gate, or other closure—commonly a bolt, bar, or latch that restricts access. In biblical usage, מַנְעוּל refers specifically to a fastening mechanism (typically made of wood or metal) installed to bar or lock a portal shut, distinct from the mere door itself or its frame. Secondary uses may denote metaphorical closure or obstruction.
