**The whole BDB entry:** ψ 88:16 (ἅπ. λεγ. DlPr 135 f. comp. Assyrian appuna(ma) adv. = maʾdiš, very, very much, but dub.; Thes MV form from √ פון, \& comp. Arabic أَفَنَ diminuit, mente diminuit (Frey), hence be confused, helpless, cf. 𝔊 ἐξηπορήθην; 𝔙 conturbatus sum; others emend אָפוּגָה or אֶפּוֹגָה from פּוּג q.v., but vb. not needed for parallelism. Arabic أَفَنَ in fact = milk (camel, etc.) dry, empty; مأفون = empty-headed man; this does not support be confused, helpless (GFM, privately)).
