דָּכָה“to crush”דָּכָה (dakhah) is a byform of דָּכָא (dakha), the standard word for crushing or being crushed, spelled with a final ה instead of א. Hebrew verbs of this shape often show this kind of spelling flexibility, and the two forms cover the identical range of meaning: something physically pounded or broken, people ground down by oppression, and above all a heart or spirit crushed low before God. The Psalms use this very spelling for the broken and crushed spirit that God does not despise. There is no difference in meaning between the two forms, only in which letter closes the root.
