My Tanakh has beth-caph-aleph. My "good" dictionary (3-volume Alcalay) defines it thus: bakha (tree mentioned in the Bible, sometimes identified with the mulberry); weeping, mourning. emek habakha [the phrase in the Psalm] Valley of Weeping, Vale of Tears (originally name of a valley in the vicinity of Jerusalem); the Exile.
