Isaac raised an interesting question. I based my statement on written
dictionaries, but right now I am on an extended trip away from my written
materials, so what do others say?

QRQR is used only three times that I could find in an electronic search,
twice as the name of an Amalekite city Numbers 24:17, Judges 8:10. The third
time appears to be as a participle in the context of death and destruction,
and coldness, Isaiah 22:5.

Did I miss something?
