**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] growth from spilled kernels ((kernels) poured out, accidentally, in harvesting, according to most; BuhlLex 13 al. think of additional growth, √ I. ספח);—it is what springs up of itself in second year, and serves as food when no grain could be sown: abs. ס׳ 2 K 19:29 = Is 37:30; cstr. סְפִיחַ קְצִירְךָ Lv 25:5; sf. תִּקְצְרוּ אֶת־סְפִיחֶיהָ v 11.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 4 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses (5 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 3 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (3 candidates)
