Strong’s Definitions

בָּבָה bâbâh, baw-baw'; feminine active participle of an unused root meaning to hollow out; something hollowed (as a gate), i.e. pupil of the eye:—apple (of the eye).

Note by BLB: Strong's entry lists the pronunciation of this word with the "b" sound. This is incorrect. The ב (bet) does not have a daghesh lene so it is pronounced with a "v" sound. This is why the transliteration has a bar under the "b" (ḇ).
