These Greek entries reflect similar concepts of tasting and eating, emphasizing the sensory and participatory aspects of consuming food and drink, akin to the Aramaic טְעַם.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of tasting or feeding, often implying the act of experiencing or partaking in food or drink.

Context: The Aramaic verb טְעַם (te'am) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel. It is used to describe the act of tasting or feeding, often in a literal sense but can also imply a broader experience or participation. In Daniel 5:2, the term is used when describing King Belshazzar's feast, where he "tasted" the wine, indicating not just the physical act of tasting but also partaking in the revelry and indulgence of the feast. This usage highlights the cultural and ceremonial aspects of dining in the ancient Near Eastern context, where tasting was not merely about sustenance but also about social and religious participation.
