**The whole BDB entry:** vb. split, divide (so ψ 74:13 seems to require \[but √ פור SS is possible\], cf. Arabic فَرْفَرَ split, tear, rend; perhaps = I.; \> BuhlLex. shake, quake, citing Arabic فَرْفَرَ shake, Aramaic אִתְפַּרְפַּר, ܦܰܪܦܰܪ, cf. NH פִּרְפֵּר);— Inf. abs. + Hithpōʿ. Pf. 3 fs. פּוֹר הִתְפּוֹרְרָה אֶרֶץ Is 24:19 split or cracked through is the earth (CheHeb. Hpt.. פרוק התפרקה). Pōʿ. Pf. 2 ms. פּוֹרַרְתָּ ψ 74:13 thou \[י׳\] didst divide the sea.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 2 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses (6 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (4 candidates)
