**The whole BDB entry:** n.m. trader, merchant (cf. ii. כְּנַעַו); only sg. (but v. infr. pl. כְּנַעֲנִים Jb 40:30; pl. sf. כִּנְעָנֶיהָ (si vera l.) Is 23:8 (‖ סֹחֲרֶיהָ).):—וְלֹא יִהְיֶה כ׳ עוֹד בְּבֵית י׳ Zc 14:21 (Aq.); וַחֲגוֹר נָֽתְנָה לַכּ׳ Pr 31:24 (‖ סָדִין עָֽשְׂתָה וַתִּמְכֹּר). In Zc 11:7, 11 read perhaps (לִ)כְנַעֲנִיֵּי for (לָ)כֵן עֲנִיֵּי, 𝔊 Χαναναῖοι, Χαναανῖτιν, StaZAW, 1881, 26 (who comp. as to sense Ho 12:8), cf. Klo We Marti.

Why these entries: BDB: same consonants, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses (2 candidates); OSHB: same consonants, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (2 candidates)
