water
tsin.nur denotes a water-related feature, explicitly a water shaft in 2 Samuel 5:8.
The clearest use identifies a water shaft in 2 Samuel 5:8; Psalm 42:8 has a plural construct form, but the APB translation does not isolate its contribution, so the evidence does not establish a more specific distinction there.

Water-related feature · dominant
In 2 Samuel 5:8, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the instruction that a Jebusite must be reached; the APB renders the clause with “the water shaft.” In Psalm 42:8, the masculine plural construct form occurs, but the APB’s rendering of the verse does not show a corresponding water-related expression clearly enough to specify its contribution further.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents a “water shaft” in 2 Samuel 5:8. In Psalm 42:8, the translation does not provide an identifiable corresponding expression.
