Semantic domains 3 entries
- Regions Under the Earth001003
- This entry carries no independent "Regions Under the Earth" sense of its own; both of this lexeme's tagged occurrences use דּוּמָה as the abstract noun "silence" — a poetic name for the stillness of death or Sheol, as at Psalm 94:17 — "my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence" — and Psalm 115:17 — "any who go down into silence." This entry's proper-noun homograph, דּוּמָה (Dûwmâh, H1746), is the lexeme that actually names a place and person (see that entry).

- Names of Locations003001010
- This entry carries no independent "Names of Locations" sense of its own; the domain code here is bundle-shared with the homograph דּוּמָה (Dûwmâh, H1746), the place name Dumah, rather than reflecting any independent place-name use of this word (see דּוּמָה (Dûwmâh, H1746)).
