hear the footfall

to hint towards something with the tap of the foot

detection of someone's arrival, the slightest sound, the word which is made by the feet and other organs in walking, the arch of the foot

hurt, wounded, a burnt offering, oblation

to be on the qui vive for the sound of footsteps

be on the alert, be on the watch

await someone eagerly

struck with the foot, kicked, trodden, touched with the foot

oblation, a burnt offering
