1. storehouse, storage city — All four clusters represent the same noun miskenot meaning 'storehouses' or 'storage cities,' differing only in grammatical inflection (article, conjunction, construct). Multilingual evidence is uniform: Spanish 'almacenes' across all clusters; Arabic consistently uses forms of makhzan (المَخازِنِ, مَخْزَنٍ, مَخَازِنَ); Hindi uses bhandaron (भण्डारों/भंडारों); Korean uses changgo (창고/저장고/보물창고); Swahili uses ghala/hazina throughout. The English glosses 'storage,' 'storehouses,' 'store-cities' all denote the same concept of a facility for storing goods or supplies. 7×
