**The whole BDB entry:** (GiIntr. 124 ff.) n.pr.m. ‘son’ of Cush, ה—ָ Gn 10:7(×2) = א—ָ 1 Ch 1:9(×2) (Baer, v. his note; van d. H. Gi ה—ָ v b); Ρεγχμα, Ρεγμα; ה—ָ as trading people Ez 27:22, Ραμα, Ραγμα. Identified by many with city Ῥεγ(α)μα (Ptol vi. 7, 14), ῾Ρηγμα (Steph. Byz.), in SE. Arabia, on Pers. Gulf (so even DHMZMG xxx (1876), 122 GlasSkizze ii. 251, 325), but this is رجمة in inscr. (Glasib. 252); רעֿמה near Meʿîn in SW. Arabia (HomSüdar. Chrest. 131 Hal 535, 11, cf. DHMl.c.); perhaps = Ῥαμμανῖται of Strabo xvi. 4. 24, v. Di Gn 10:7.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 3 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (3 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (3 candidates)
