Strong’s Definitions

עֶגֶב ʻegeb, eh'-gheb; from H5689; love (concretely), i.e. amative words:—much love, very lovely.

Note by BLB: Strong's entry lists the pronunciation of this word with the "b" sound. This is incorrect. The ב (bet) does not have a daghesh lene so it is pronounced with a "v" sound. This is why the transliteration has a bar under the "b" (ḇ).
