Quantity002001001046: The word means a fourth part, directly illustrated by "the number of the fourth part of Israel" (Numbers 23:10) and "a fourth of a kab of dove's dung" sold during the Samaria famine (2 Kings 6:25).
Dust001002005005: This domain is not independently illustrated by the word's own sampled citations; Numbers 23:10 pairs "the fourth part of Israel" with "the dust of Jacob" in poetic parallelism, but the tagged word itself denotes the fractional quantity, not the dust.
