Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed both frozen occurrences on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target rows. The cheek is the lateral facial plane turned away from people in a gesture of disdain. The trench is an extended recess in the ground whose companions sit around its kindled fire in the following verses.
