B-Hebrewers,

Leviticus 2:11 has two words, hometz (heth-mem-tsadeh) and s`or
(sin-aleph-resh) which both seem to mean something which has
been raised or fermented with yeast. The lexicon I consulted
(Davidson) has very similar meanings for both words. Do we
know much about the differences in meaning between these two
words?

Thanks.
