what is thrum
THRUM. thrum: In Isaiah 38:12 the Revised Version (British and American) reads He will cut me off from the loom, margin thrum. Thrum is a technical term of weavers, denoting the threads of the warp hanging down in a loom, suiting dallah, that which hangs down (Song of Solomon 7:5, hair). A misinterpretation of hanging down is responsible for the King James' pining sickness.
