Does anyone know offhand what the current thinking is as to the etymology of the DBR part of the various spellings of Lodebar (2Sam 17:37; Amos 6:13; 2Sam 9:4,5; Josh 13:26), since it could be based on (from KBS Lexicon):

1) DBR I "to turn away, drive away", ie., "not rejected" or "not driven away"
2) DBR II "to speak" or some nominalized form of it, ie., "no word (from
God?)"
3) DBR III "to have descendants", ie., "no descendents"
4) DEBER I "bubonic plague", ie., "not touched by the plague"
5) DEBER II "sting, thorn", ie., "no thorny bushes (?)"
6) DOBER "pasture", ie., "no pastureland"
7) D:BIYR I "inner holy room", ie., "no temple"
8) D:BIYR III and D:BIR which are related to D:BIYR I meaning "remote (village)", ie., "not far away (village)"

Thanks for any help...
