nuv denotes producing fruit or a fruitful result, whether of righteous speech or of people made fruitful.

The clearest attested use is producing a fruitful outcome: Proverbs 10:31 places the singular imperfect form with the mouth of the righteous, while Zechariah 9:17 places a singular imperfect form in the statement that new wine will make virgins fruitful. In Psalm 62:11 and Psalm 92:15, the supplied translation does not isolate the term's contribution clearly enough to establish a further use.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents fruitfulness in Proverbs 10:31 and Zechariah 9:17 through "bears fruit" and "bear fruit." In Psalm 62:11 and Psalm 92:15, its whole-verse translation does not make this term's specific contribution clear.
