- Fortifications001003002003
- This entry carries no independent "Fortifications" sense of its own; every genuine tagged occurrence of this lexeme (2 Kings 19:24, Isaiah 19:6, 37:25, Micah 7:12) is the poetic name "Mazor" for Egypt ("the streams/canals of Egypt"), not a fortification. The domain is bundle-shared with the identically-spelled common noun for a siege or fortified work (מָצוֹר (mâtsôwr, H4692)).
