Nave
(Heb. gao), anything convex or arched, as the boss of a shield, Job 15:26 the eyebrows, Le 14:9 an eminent place. Eze 16:31 It is rendered once only in the plural, "naves," 1Ki 7:33 meaning the centres of the wheels in which the spokes are inserted i.e. the hubs. In Eze 1:18 it is rendered twice "rings," and margin "strakes," an old word apparently used for the nave (hub) of a wheel and also more probably for the felloe or the tire, as making the streak or stroke upon the ground.
