lightnings
Lightning – a sudden flash or discharge of atmospheric electricity. The term primarily denotes a natural phenomenon (lightning) but is also used figuratively for intense brightness or a sudden flash, sometimes extending metaphorically to describe objects with a brilliant appearance, such as flashing swords or dazzling light. The concept includes both literal and figurative senses, but the core idea is a striking burst of brightness in the sky or from an object.

| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun, absolute state. |
