Near synonyms 1 word
רָוָה râvâh · H7301 · to moisten, to water, to drink (one's) fill
Both lexemes share semantic overlap around the concept of watering/moistening (both glossed with "water" as a verb). However, רָוָה (râvâh, H7301)'s range is much broader (satiate, satisfy, make drunk, fill) with watering as one component, while שׁוּק (shûwq, H7783) is narrower (overflow, water). The relationship appears to be a genuine but partial near-synonym around the "watering" sense, though רָוָה (râvâh, H7301)'s fuller range extends beyond שׁוּק (shûwq, H7783)'s scope.
