**The whole BDB entry:** ψ 80:16 n.f. (si vera l.) support (of tree), i.e. root, stock (fem. of iii. כֵּן; cf. Syriac ܟܰܢܳܐ m. id., ChePsalms 397, so Ges); al. take as vb., but 𝔊 κατάρτισαι is ag. gramm. (should be כֹּנְנָה), and √ כנן = كَنَّ protect (Hu Ri De; read then כֹּ֫נָּה) is improb. Text dubious.

<!-- .note -->
