First a disclaimer; I can't read Hebrew. I'm looking for confirmation of the meaning of an annotation in my interlinear (I've replaced the Hebrew text with the transliteration H, following this <https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2003-December/016900.html> guide).

* Joshua 10:40: něḡěḇ, noun, proper, land, singular, feminine, normal, *definite with **H***
* Joshua 15:21: něḡbā(h), noun, proper, land, singular, feminine, normal, definite *without* *H*, *locative* *H
*
Does this mean that H is being used as a kind of locative suffix? As I understand it, the difference between these two passages is that one refers to the specific geographical location known as the Negev, and one refers more generally to the 'south'.
