Near synonyms 2 words
- כְּפוֹר kᵉphôwr · H3713 · bowl, hoarfrost
- Both words denote frost; כְּפוֹר (kᵉphôwr, H3713) also has the sense of a basin or container, but in the frost sense the two overlap directly.
- קֶרַח qerach · H7140 · cold, ice
- Both words denote "frost" as a meteorological phenomenon; חֲנָמָל (chănâmâl, H2602) means only "frost," while קֶרַח (qerach, H7140) has a broader range ("crystal, frost, ice"), but the sense "frost" is shared, so they are two distinct Hebrew words that can both refer to frost.
