To "open the lips" is to begin to speak (Job 11:5); to "refrain the lips" is to keep silence (Ps. 40:9; 1 Pet. 3:10). The "fruit of the lips" (Heb. 13:15) is praise, and the "calves of the lips" thank-offerings (Hos. 14:2). To "shoot out the lip" is to manifest scorn and defiance (Ps. 22:7). Many similar forms of expression are found in Scripture.  lip [lip] Lippe  lip [lip] lèvre  lip ajak csôr fecsegés perem pofázás szegély szemtelenség száj szél  lip [lip] béal; bruas; cab; liopa  lip labbro  lip [lip] labea; labia; labium; labrum  lip [lip] lip  lip [lip] lábio  lip [lip] labio  lip [lip] läpp  lip [lip] Lippe  lip [lip] lip  lip [lip] lèvre  lip Lefze f lip Lippe f lip Rand m; Tülle f; Schnauze f lip Randabschluss m (von Gefäß) lip Unverschämtheit f  184 Moby Thesaurus words for "lip": aerophone, answer back, articulate, back talk, backchat, bagpipe, bank, bell, bilge, blain, bleb, blister, blob, blow, blow a horn, board, border, bordure, boss, bow, breathe, brim, brink, brow, bubble, bugle, bulb, bulge, bulla, bump, bunch, burl, buss, button, cahot, carillon, chime, chine, chorus, clarion, clump, coast, come out with, communicate, condyle, convex, convey, deliver, disclose, doodle, double reed, double-tongue, dowel, ear, edge, embouchure, emit, enunciate, express, featheredge, fife, flange, flap, fling off, flute, formulate, frame, fringe, gall, give, give expression, give out with, give tongue, give utterance, give voice, gnarl, handle, hem, hill, horn, hump, hunch, impart, jaw, jog, joggle, key, knob, knot, knur, knurl, labellum, labium, labrum, lap, lave, ledge, let out, limb, limbus, list, loop, lump, marge, margin, mole, mountain, mouth, mouthpiece, nevus, nub, nubbin, nubble, osculate, out with, papilloma, peck, peg, phonate, phrase, pipe, pour forth, present, pronounce, provoke, put forth, put in words, ragged edge, raise, reed, rib, ridge, rim, ring, sass, sassiness, sauce, sauciness, say, selvage, set forth, shore, shoulder, side, sideline, skirt, slide, smack, smooch, sound, spine, stud, style, tab, talk back, tell, throw off, tongue, toot, tooter, tootle, triple-tongue, trumpet, tubercle, tubercule, tweedle, utter, valve, verbalize, verge, verruca, vesicle, vocalize, voice, wale, wart, wash, welt, whisper, whistle, wind, wind instrument, wind the horn, word Lip related |
