Gemstones001003001001009: תַּרְשִׁישׁ (Tarshîysh, H8659) is the proper name "Tarshish," a distant seafaring region (and, elsewhere, a personal name). The quotation "the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram's ships" at 1 Kings 10:22 shows this proper-name sense, which does not independently attest the "Gemstones" domain; that classification is bundle-shared with תַּרְשִׁישׁ (tarshîysh, H8658) (the common noun "chrysolite") in the source data and reflects תַּרְשִׁישׁ (tarshîysh, H8658)'s own attested sense, not this proper name's.
Names of Locations003001010: This proper name identifies Tarshish, a distant seafaring destination, as in 1 Kings 10:22's account of the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, silver, and ivory.
Names of People003001007: The name also identifies a son of Bilhan of the tribe of Benjamin, as in 1 Chronicles 7:10.
