The noun occurs in spice and fragrance lists. In Exodus 30:23 the APB renders it within directions to take spices; in Proverbs 7:17 it renders a bed sprinkled with aromatic materials; and in Song of Songs 4:14 it appears among “all chief spices.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the term as “cinnamon” within lists of spices or fragrant materials. The surrounding lists confirm the shared aromatic-spice setting rather than isolate every nuance of the Hebrew term.
