Footnotes

Jon. 4:6

Strong's #7021 קיקיון kikiyyon. Said to be an unknown plant. But perhaps it is not a plant?

Or more straightforwardly, a thin wafer, as something beat out flat.  Cf. Strongs #7556, Gesenius,  root רקק to spread thin by pounding, also to spit; Strong's #7550 רקיק rakik and plural רקיקי "thin wafer/cake"

Add the diminutive suffix יון- iyyon and we read "inner thin wafer"

Jon. 4:6

רע for evil or רע for friend/neighbor?

Strong's #7451 רע (ra): This Hebrew word primarily means "evil," "wicked," or "bad." It is used to describe moral or physical harm, wickedness, or adversity.

Strong's #7453  רע (rea): This word means "friend" or "companion," and is used to describe someone with whom one shares a close or trusted relationship.
