gul.go.let denotes a physical head or skull and, in enrollment and allotment clauses, an individual counted head by head.

The prevailing use marks individuals counted or supplied on a head-by-head basis in census, registration, and payment clauses. In a smaller group of verses, it identifies the bodily head, including a skull struck, found after burial, or displayed in a temple house.

   The plural construct form occurs in enrollment clauses: in Numbers 1:2 the APB renders the census instruction “head by head,” and Numbers 1:18 likewise describes registration by names “head by head.” In Exodus 16:16, the singular absolute form stands in an instruction to gather an omer according to the number of persons, while Exodus 38:26 and Numbers 3:47 place the singular in per-person payment amounts.

   In Judges 9:53, the singular construct form is the part struck by an upper millstone; the APB renders that Abimelech's “skull” was crushed. In 2 Kings 9:35, the singular absolute form is among the remains found for burial, and in 1 Chronicles 10:10 the construct form is the head fastened in Dagon's house.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the counting and allotment clauses with “head” or “head by head,” while bodily contexts use both “head” and “skull.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English choices show the clauses' presentation rather than fixed renderings of the term.
