פּוּךְ: antimony, stibium [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1508/6320/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] antimony, stibium (NH = BH; cf. poss. Arabic فَكَّ open, separate; Syriac ܦܰܟ pulverize; but פּוּךְ perhaps foreign word);—black mineral powder, for increasing brilliance of eyes by darkening edges of lids; וַתָּשֶׂם בַּפּ׳ עֵינֶיהָ 2 K 9:30, תִּקְרְעִי וגו׳ Je 4:30; (on practice in Arabic v. WeGGN, 1893, 443; in Egypt, LaneMod. Egypt. ed. 5, i. 45f.); fig. Is 54:11 of dark cement setting off precious stones (but WeDLZ, Aug. 2, 1890 CheHpt. al. read נֹפֶךְ q.v.); אַבְנֵי פ׳ 1 Ch 29:2 are perhaps stones of brilliant hue of antimony.—Cf. n.pr. קֶרֶן הַפּוּךְ, and כָּחַל.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 4 of its verses cited, 1 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, 1 with the glosses (2 candidates)
