Unique readings in the Hebrew Bible - Culture

I have a domain I call Culture. Nothing magic about the word. It's just stuff we humans do, stuff we are, stuff we wear, and so on. In this domain, there are 101 stems used only once in the Bible that I have classified under the domain of culture.
Count of hapaxes by sub-domain for Culture
My total of such unique readings for all domains is 243. Other sources have up to 400. It is possible they are including some single usage stems where the stem also has other meanings, i.e. homonyms or homographs. In the meanwhile, I am scanning these lists for anomalies.

My rules tell me that if I have a unique reading in Hebrew, I must have a similarly unique English gloss that does not overlap with any other use of the lemma related to that gloss.
