chariot
mer.kav denotes a conveyance, explicitly the object ridden by a man with a discharge in Leviticus 15:9.
The clearest attestation identifies mer.kav as the conveyance on which a man with a discharge rides in Leviticus 15:9; its construct forms also occur in 1 Kings 5:6 and Song of Songs 3:10, though the translation does not isolate its contribution in those clauses.

In Leviticus 15:9, the masculine singular absolute form is the object “on which the man with the discharge rides,” and the APB renders that object as “chariot.” The masculine singular construct forms occur in 1 Kings 5:6 and Song of Songs 3:10; the APB respectively renders a request about cutting cedars and a description of pillars, back, seat, and interior, without clearly isolating the term’s contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “chariot” in Leviticus 15:9. In 1 Kings 5:6 and Song of Songs 3:10, its loose verse renderings do not clearly mark a corresponding English expression for the construct forms.
