[George Athas <George.Athas AT moore.edu.au>]

Karl, here's a quick list of other occurrences I came up with to whet your נפשׁ.

• Exodus 15.9
• Isaiah 56.11
• Jeremiah 22.27; 44.14; 50.19
• Ezekiel 24.25 (though this has more the sense of desire, rather appetite specifically)
• Hosea 4.8
• Proverbs 6.30; 23.2; 28.25 (though this is broader, probably greed);

George:

Do you have other verses where NP$ means “appetite”? One time uses of a meaning for a term can end up making a term undefined.
