Strong’s Definitions

תָּבוּן tâbûwn, taw-boon'; and (feminine)

תּוֹבֻנָה tôwbunâh; to-boo-naw'; from H995; intelligence; by implication, an argument; by extension, caprice:—discretion, reason, skilfulness, understanding, wisdom.

Note by BLB: Strong's entry lists the pronunciations 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).
