Good002001001031

This Good code is inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping with the Hebrew form (יָטַב (yâṭab, H3190)), whose “to tend; to adorn; to improve” sense is well attested; this word's own occurrence carries none of that improving sense, only what seems fitting to do.

Great002001002012

This Great code is likewise inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to make (someone) famous” sense; this word's own occurrence never carries a sense of fame.

Intense002001003011

This Intense code is inherited from the same shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to enhance” sense, which this word's own occurrence does not show.

Rejoice002001002022

This Rejoice code is likewise inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to be happy” and “to give joy” senses; this word's own occurrence carries no such sense of happiness or enjoyment.
