Pronunciation: sheer

Morphology: v

Derivation: or (the original form) שׁוּר (shûwr); (1 Samuel 18:6), a primitive root (rather identical with שׁוּר (shûwr) [H7788] through the idea of strolling minstrelsy);

Definition: to sing

KJV Renderings: behold (by mistake for שׁוּר (shûwr) [H7789]), sing(-er, -ing man, -ing woman).
