Grzeqorz et al,

There is indeed scarcity of lexical data for the word in question in
both the LXX and BHS. Unfortunately, the new Koehler-Baumgartner
stops, at present, with sin. I don't have it in German.

Here's BDB - exitialia, fatal things - poet. for weapons; many other
conjectures in the commentaries.

Here's R. Alcalay - citadel, fortress; armory; (others) military
school; (bibl)
built magnificently; builded with turrets.

Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament had nothing of significance.

Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint gives "*courses of stones* (of
buildings)".

Liddell & Scott Ninth has nothing, nor does their intermediate.

So, my recommendation, which I see has already been suggested by
others, is to take this sparse lexical information, then go dig in the
best commentaries.

Kol tuv!
