qav-qav occurs in Isaiah’s repeated description of a nation, presented in the APB as a nation of “might and subjugation.”

The attested use is a repeated noun in Isaiah’s description of a nation; in both occurrences, the APB presents the surrounding description as “a nation of might and subjugation,” though the translation does not isolate the term’s individual contribution.

    In Isaiah 18:2, the singular absolute noun occurs in the description of the nation to which swift messengers are sent; the APB renders the larger description as “a nation of might and subjugation.” In Isaiah 18:7, the same form recurs in the description of the people from whom a gift will be brought to the LORD of Hosts.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Isaiah 18:2 and Isaiah 18:7, the APB repeats “a nation of might and subjugation” within the larger national description. It does not establish which part of that phrase corresponds specifically to this term.
