מָמוֹת: death Hoph. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1502/4463/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] only pl. death (cf. Arabic مَمَاتٌ );—cstr. מְמוֹתֵי תַחֲלֻאִים Je 16:4 of painful death by diseases; מ׳ חָלָל Ez 28:8.—For הַמְּמוֹתִים (Kt) 2 K 11:2, the slain, Qr. הַמּוּמָתִים is certainly correct (v. מוּת Hoph. supr.)

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