- קָרָא qârâʼ · H7121 · to cry out, to read, to recite
- צָרַח (tsârach, H6873) "cry, roar" (2 occurrences) and קָרָא (qârâʼ, H7121) "call, cry unto, proclaim" share the "Shout" domain, but קָרָא (qârâʼ, H7121)'s gloss reveals it is vastly more polysemous (13 semantic domains including Name, Know, Serve, etc.) and primarily centers on summoning/proclamation rather than emotional outcry. The overlap in "cry" is real but represents only a narrow slice of קָרָא (qârâʼ, H7121)'s broad range; genuine but modest synonymy in the vocalization/outcry sense.
- צָעַק tsâʻaq · H6817 · to cry out, to call for help, to appeal
- The target lexeme (‘to cry, roar’) and צָעַק (‘to cry out, call together’) both denote loud vocal outcry, functioning as near-synonyms.
