שׁחוה   n.f.  grave


  grave, death pit  LJLA.  TgPs73:18 : רמיתנון לשהוותא/לשחותא/.  TgJob9:31 : הידין בשחוותא תטמישנני  [=MT אָז בַּשַּׁחַת תִּטְבְּלֵנִי].

See also s.v. שהוה "wasteland". This LJLA form reflects a scribal confusion between that word and שוחה "pit" and of course is influenced by the BH source form שַּׁחַת.
