- Move002002001012
- נוֹד denotes wandering, its sole occurrence at Psalm 56:8 speaking of God recording the psalmist's "wanderings" (or tossings, in some renderings), tying the word to a state of roaming or restless movement.
- Names of Locations003001010
- This entry carries no independent "Names of Locations" sense of its own; this lexeme's sole occurrence, Psalm 56:9 ("my enemies will turn back on the day when I call" — נֹד describing their retreat/wandering), is the common noun for wandering or retreat, not a place name. The domain is bundle-shared with the lexeme's own broader sense range.
