סְפֹרָה: n.f. number [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1505/5615/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. number;—pl. abs. לֹא יָדַעְתִּי סְפֹרוֹת ψ 71:15 I know not (the) numbers (of י׳’s acts of righteousness and deliverance, i.e. they are innumerable; cf. 𝔗 Symm.); \> Du (after 𝔊 Bab א 𝔖 𝔙) reads סְפָרוֹת (cf. סִפְרָה supr.).

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