**The whole BDB entry:** Pr 7:20, כֶּ֫סֶה ψ 81:4 n.\[m.\] full moon (cf. Aramaic ܟܶܣܐܴܐ; orig. dubious, cf. LagSymm. i. 93; perhaps Assyrian loan-word; cf. Assyrian kuŝeu, headdress or cap, = agû, id., and also full moon (as tiara of moon-god?), DlHWB, sub kusêu, kubšu, agû; yet v. Brock)—לְיוֹם הַכּ׳ Pr 7:20; as a feast-day, בַּכּ׳ ψ 81:4 (opp. בַּחֹדֶשׁ, at the new moon).

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