דַּחְוָה   n.f.  (??)


  (uncertain)  BADan.  Dan6:19 : בָת טְוָת וְדַחֲוָן לָא־הַנְעֵל קָדָמוֹהִי וְשִׁנְתֵּהּ נַדַּת עֲלוֹהִי  he spent the night fasting, had no ??s brought in, and he sleep fled from him.

A completely mysterious word: most likely referring to foodstuffs or serving utensils, but possibly to sleeping companions. If the latter, then emendation to לחנן is the easiest route; see s.v. lḥnh.
