**The whole BDB entry:** n.pr.gent. Ez 27:11; valorous men ThesAdd. 79 Ew RVm; but n.pr. apparently needed; גּמדים not elsewhere; LagOnom. Sacr. 2, 95, 2nd ed. 367 proposes גמרים v. גֹּמֶר; צמרים cf. Gn 10:18.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (1 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech differs, 2 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (1 candidates)
