ArchivesRe: Hebrew script for possible Mary-related words?
in reply to a message by Miranda
1. mari "mistress" - No idea
2. meri "rebellion" - îÆøÄé
3. am (pronominal suffix) (as exampled by meri am "their rebellion") - huh?
4. mar "drop" (I think they mean "drop of liquid" here) - îÇø (yes it is drop of liquid, and that usage of the word is Biblical only - I had to check it in a dictionary)
5. merum "bitterness" - I don't know
6. marar "bitter one" - marir is an adjective meaning bitter or bittersweet - do you mean that? îÈøÄéø
7. marah "great sorrow" - îÈøÈä
8. mara "fat one, well-nourished one" - I don't know
9. marah "strong one, ruling one" - I don't know
10. ra'am "gracious one" or "charming one" - ram is loud or important/esteemed - øÈí, and ra'am is thunder - øÇòÇí
11. rum "exalted one" - I don't know
ETA: #11 - רוּם can be from a base form meaning height, altitude.
