drought
A prolonged period of dry weather due to scanty rainfall; injurious to crops, and so to all who depend on them for survival
ExamplesJeremiah 14:1 That which came as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah regarding the drought:
Jeremiah 17:8 “For he will be like a tree planted by the water That extends its roots by a stream, And does not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought, Nor cease to yield fruit.

- Both lexemes denote drought/dryness conditions and co-occur in a small (10-member) domain. תַּלְאוּבָה (talʼûwbâh, H8514)'s gloss "great drought" explicitly overlaps with בַּצֹּרֶת (batstsôreth, H1226)'s "drought," suggesting these are genuine same-language near-synonyms (both could substitute for each other in describing extreme dry conditions).
