Semantic domains 2 entries
Strong002001001063
This entry carries no independent “Strong” sense of its own; every tagged occurrence names the city Calah, as in “From that land he went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah” (Genesis 10:11). The “Strong” domain is bundle-shared with the related lexeme כֶּלַח (kelach, H3624) rather than independently attested here.
Names of Locations003001010
Calah is the name of a major Assyrian city built by Nimrod, listed alongside Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir in Genesis 10:11-12, so this entry is primarily a place designation.
