How the English word “elm” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
ELM, noun
[Latin ulmus.]
A tree of the genus Ulmus. The common elm is one of the largest and most majestic trees of the forest, and is cultivated for shade and ornament. Another species, the fulva, is called slippery elm from the quality of its inner bark. One species seems to have been used to support vines.
