matheri
- empty, empty-handed. Empty, empty-handed. Having nothing; without possessions, gifts, or contents; bare or void of something expected.
Example: No rĩĩrĩ, ndũkaae gũthiĩ mbere ya Mwathani mooko matheri, (and one who gives alms presents a sacrifice of praise.); na mbere yakwa hatikanoneke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wĩ moko matheri. (You shall keep the feast of Unleavened Bread. As I have commanded you, you must eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for it was then that you came out of Egypt. No one shall appear before me Appear before me : the original expression was “see my face”; so also in several other places, as 23:17; 34:23–24; Dt 16:16; 31:11. empty-handed.)
