Both words denote gathering, in the sense of collecting or coming together.

לָקַט lâqaṭ · H3950 · to gather, to glean

Both the target term ('gather together, heap up') and לָקַט (lâqaṭ, H3950) ('gather up, glean') are genuine gathering verbs sharing the core sense of collecting or assembling. לָקַט's 'glean' nuance specifies a particular agricultural context (gathering leftovers), while the target term additionally covers 'heap up' and 'wrap oneself,' suggesting a broader range of application — but the two are plausibly substitutable near-synonyms in gathering contexts.

קָבַץ qâbats · H6908 · to come together, to gather, to assemble

They represent distinct Hebrew roots that could substitute for one another in contexts of collecting or assembling people or things, making this a true near-synonym relationship.
