### Brown–Driver–Briggs 1906

נוּשׁ: vb. be sick [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1504/5136/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** vb. be sick, si vera l. ( = I. אנשׁ according to Thes who comp. Syriac ܢܰܫ );— Impf. 1 s. וָֽאָנוּשָׁה ψ 69:21, but read perhaps \[מַכַּת נַפְשִׁי\] וַאֲנוּשָׁה (‖ חֶרְפָּה שָֽׁבְרָה לִבִּי), Bi Che crit. n., cf. 𝔊, v. I. אנשׁ; or (קַוֹּן) וְאָנוּשׁ הוּא קַוֵּה (with different word-division), Weir Acad. 1870, 257 (who cp. Je 17:9; 8:15).

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, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (2 candidates)
