בַּ/כּ֣וֹס
𐤁/𐤊𐤅𐤎
kôwç
in the cup
A cup, goblet, or chalice used as a container for drinking liquids, usually wine; by extension, a figurative term for a person's fate, portion, or experience in life, particularly that which is assigned or meted out (often of divine origin, and frequently negative, such as suffering or wrath). Rarely, the term appears in texts as the name of an unclean bird, likely an owl, possibly referencing the hollow, cup-like aspect of the bird's facial features or eye sockets.
