ko.ved denotes burdensome weight, seen in battle, many corpses, and a comparison with a fool’s vexation.

The attested use describes weight or an oppressive burden: it qualifies battle and a mass of corpses, and it appears in a comparison involving the weight of stone and sand; its precise contribution in Isaiah 30:27 is less clear from the translation.

1. Weight as an oppressive burden · dominant

   In Isaiah 21:15, the construct form occurs in the clause that the APB renders “the heaviness of battle”; in Nahum 3:3, another construct form occurs with the APB’s “heaviness of corpses” amid an abundance of slain. In Proverbs 27:3, the construct form stands in the comparison where the APB renders stone and sand as having “weight” and a fool’s vexation as heavier; Isaiah 30:27 has the absolute form in a description of anger, smoke, lips, and fire, though the translation does not clearly isolate its contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “heaviness” in Isaiah 21:15 and Nahum 3:3 and “weight” in Proverbs 27:3. In Isaiah 30:27, its wording does not visibly identify a corresponding English expression.
