**The whole BDB entry:** vb. whence Pt. נִסְמָן Is 28:25 (si vera l.) barley in an appointed place, or a determined portion (cf. Ges Hi De al.), but נ׳ lacking in 𝔊 and plausibly taken as dittogr. for כֻּסֶּמֶת by WeProl. 417; Gesch. Isr. i. 409 CheComm. and Hpt. Du; cf. Brd GuKau.

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