נֵהוֹר נְהוֹרָא   n.m.  light


  light, illumination  Com-OA-OfA-BA.

  light source  Qumran, JLAtg, LJLA.

  enlightenment, understanding  BADan.

JLAtg seems to regularly distinguish between nhōrā as a light source or lit object and nēhōrā as illumination (where a regular variant is zyhwr and may be involved in this [artifical?] distinction). This distinction does not seem to be maintained elsewhere and has here been ignored for lexicographic purposes.
The BA example should almost certainly be emended (with the ktiv) to nhyrw, q.v.
