(2) a cloud (Arab. سَاحْقُ a thin cloud; prop. apparently a cloud of dust, as something similar). Plur. clouds, Job 38:37 to which are ascribed showers, Job 36:28; Psalms 78:23; Proverbs 3:20 thunder (Psalms 77:18). Meton. used of the firmament of heaven, i.q. שָׁמַיִם and רָקִיעַ.

So also the sing., Psalms 89:7, 38 Psalms 89:38. (Sam. שׁחקיה for שָׁמַיִם Genesis 7:19.)
