**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. dub., only pl. הַמִּנְהָרוֹת אֲשֶׁר בֶּהָרִים Ju 6:2 (+ הַמְּעָרוֹת caves, הַמְּצָדוֹת strong-holds)—(clearly, si vera l., from a √ נהר, but with what meaning? Schultens Jb 49 comp. Arabic مِنْهَرَةٌ, مِنْهَرٌ \[which means a place hollowed out by water\], and rend. crevices, ravines, so Thes al.; Rashi Ki Wetzst Hauran, 46 think of caves with a light-opening; R. Levi ben Gerson beacons, i.e. towers for fire-signals, GFM; but ii. נהר late in Heb.; 𝔊 τρυμαλίας, 𝔙 antra; Bu thinks הַמְּעָרוֹת a gloss explaining הַמִּנ׳).

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 (2 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (1 candidates)
