da.av describes a soul's languishing, contrasted with being satisfied, filled, or no longer languishing.

The attested use concerns a languishing soul: Jeremiah 31:12 and Jeremiah 31:25 place it in promises that such need will cease or be filled, while Psalm 88:10 supplies only the form within a question about the dead and shades, leaving its particular contribution there less clear in the translation.

1. Languishing of the soul · dominant

   In Jeremiah 31:12, the Qal infinitive construct occurs in the promise that the people's soul will be like a watered garden and, as the APB renders the clause, “they shall languish no more.” In Jeremiah 31:25, the Qal perfect feminine singular describes “every languishing soul” that the APB says God has filled. Psalm 88:10 has the same Qal perfect feminine singular form, but its APB rendering moves through questions about the dead and shades without isolating the term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “languish” in Jeremiah 31:12 and “languishing soul” in Jeremiah 31:25. In Psalm 88:10, the translation does not clearly isolate the term, since it renders the surrounding question about the dead and shades.
