- עֲרָבָה here denotes a streamside landscape feature, the setting where willow-brooks grow, illustrated at Job 40:22 ("the willows of the brook surround him") and Psalm 137:2 ("on the willows"), reflecting the watered landscape this tree characteristically inhabits.

- This lexeme's genuine tagged occurrences (Leviticus 23:40, Job 40:22, Psalm 137:2, Isaiah 15:7/44:4) all illustrate the common noun "willow" (a tree), never a place name of its own; this Names of Locations domain code is bundle-shared from the homographic place name/region term עֲרָבָה (Arabah, עֲרָבָה (ʻărâbâh, H6160)) and carries no tagged occurrence of עָרָב (ʻârâb, H6155) independently attesting a place-name sense.
- Trees001002007002
- עֲרָבָה denotes a willow tree, illustrated at Leviticus 23:40 ("willows of the brook") and Job 40:22, used ceremonially in the Feast of Booths.
- Clouds001002005004
- עָרָב (ʻârâb, H6155) (עָרָב/עֲרָבָה) refers to the poplar or willow tree, as in occurrences glossed "poplars." This botanical sense does not independently attest the "Clouds" domain; that classification is bundle-shared with עֲרָבָה (ʻărâbâh, H6160) in the source data and is not confirmed by this lexeme's own occurrences.
