Yigal:
The word is used well over 100 times in Tanakh, so there must be some times where it is used for human habitations, such as: Numbers 24:5 Isaiah 32:18 Jeremiah 30:18 Jeremiah 51:30 Habakkuk 1:6 Psalm 87:2 Job 18:21 Job 21:28 Job 39:6 Song of Songs 1:8 (these just from a quick electronic search) I would be surprised if there are not more, several more.
