Footnotes
פְעָמַיִךְ (pe'amayikh) carries the sense of rhythmic footfalls or steps in motion, not merely "feet" as static anatomy — the word evokes the sound and rhythm of dance. בַּת־נָדִיב (bat-nadiv) is genuinely ambiguous: nadiv can denote noble lineage or nobility of character (generosity); F.O.G leans into the character reading, F.O.G Message the social rank. חַמּוּקֵי (chammuqei, from חמק) means "rounded curves" — a deliberately sensuous anatomical term found nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. חֲלָאִים (chala'im) is a hapax legomenon of uncertain meaning, most likely "jewelled links" or ornaments, suggesting the curves are as finely wrought as a master jeweller's work.
