 Several more sensible divisions could be proposed. For example:
-  *The 413 instances assigned to Strongnumber 2719 indeed do tend to refer to an object that can be used as a weapon that can caused damage. What is not clear is the type of weapon. Although "sword" is the common interpretation, it might just as well refer to a dirk or cudgel. One clear exception within this subset is Exodus 20:25 which very clearly referrences a tool used to cut or shape stone, most likely a chisel.

Although "sword" is the common interpretation, it might just as well refer to any other weapon. Considering the fact that the [[Hyberi]] were primarily nomadic pastoralists, it would more likely be a staff, or maybe a dirk or cudgel. One clear exception within this subset is Exodus 20:25 which very clearly references a tool used to cut or shape stone, most likely a chisel.
   *There is a group that may or may not refer specifically to "dryness" (dried, parched, drought, dry ground), but these instances are spread across the Strongnumbers (2717, 2720, 2721, 2723, 2724, 2725)
   *Another group seems to indicate a state of ruin, devastation, or destruction, presumably brought about by either intent or neglect. Again, these instances are spread across the Strongnumbers (2717, 2720, 2721, 2723, 2724, 2725)

 This leaves us with only one other interpretation needed - that of the object that caused the ruin - "a weapon".
+====ke pi hereb====
+There is a commonly recurring phrase [[ke]] [[pi]] [[hereb]], which seems to mean "struck teeth weapon" and is commonly interpreted as "by the edge of the sword". FIXME This bears further investigation.
