Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Dip your morsel in the wine' is the only OT scene of a dipped morsel offered at a meal, providing possible verbal coloring for the dipped piece of bread. The setting is benevolent, not treacherous, so the link is lexical and faint. Marked contested.
