“stronghold”
11 fragments across 10 traditions carry this sense. Every one of them closes a name — this is a sense traditions reach for at the end, not the beginning.
Across the traditions
¶They are spread across 7 different families, from tabletop outward, which is the mark of a sense so basic that almost every tradition needs a word for it. No single tradition hoards it: the deepest, Kingdom, has 2.
