- This lexeme has no tagged occurrence of its own in the running text of the tagged critical edition; the sense (Hinnom, the valley south of Jerusalem associated with the place name "Valley of (the son(s) of) Hinnom") is drawn from the word's own standard identification rather than from an attested citation of its own — in this tagged edition, the compound place name's occurrences (e.g. Joshua 15:8, Joshua 18:16, Jeremiah 7:31) are tagged entirely under the separate lexeme גַּיְא (gayʼ, H1516) (the word for "valley"), with this element itself carrying no independent tag.
