akin to klino, "to lean" (Eng., "recline, incline" etc.), "a bed," e.g., Mar 7:30, also denotes a "couch" for reclining at meals, Mar 4:21, or a "couch" for carrying the sick, Mat 9:2,6. The metaphorical phrase "to cast into a bed," Rev 2:22, signifies to afflict with disease (or possibly, to lay on a bier).
