Both occurrences use the masculine singular construct form in a clause about a ruined location. In Ezekiel 26:5 the APB renders the site as becoming "a spreading-place for nets in the midst of the sea"; in Ezekiel 26:14 it is a bare rock that will not be built again and is rendered "a spreading-place for nets."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "a spreading-place for nets" in both verses, adding "in the midst of the sea" in Ezekiel 26:5. This wording confirms the clause-level setting rather than isolating every contribution of the term.
