Footnotes
The word *domen* (דֹּמֶן) — "dung, manure" — is unambiguous and deliberately degrading. To be scattered as *domen* on the *pene hasadeh* ("face of the open field") was the ultimate obliteration of identity and memory. In ANE culture, named burial preserved one's existence in collective memory; to lie unnamed as scattered dung was its total annihilation. Elijah's prophecy against Jezebel (1 Kings 21:23) reaches its fullest and most complete expression here — not just death, not just dogs, but the erasure of all identity. FOG uses "dung" for literal precision; FOG Message uses "manure" for an equally visceral but slightly elevated English register.
