Three pages???!!! I can’t imagine any one lexeme needing anywhere near that
The problem, as I see it, is that George has misrepresented BDB in his over-enthusiastic abbreviation. The full BDB article is more than three pages of small print, including short paragraphs describing several of the senses.
BDB also lists examples of B- meaning "with" in the senses of accompaniment and of concomitant conditions, and clearly distinguishes these from instrumentality. If you disagree with BDB on these listed cases, your disagreement is exegetical and not lexicographical.
