  I think 'e(y)rom could be related to 'wr as a root variant of 'rw (cf. 
'erwA "pudenda") <*'awir (stative model) + om (an obscure enclitic element), 
but 'arom (2:25) looks like a derivate of 'rw root. Perhaps it would be wise 
to postulate a (secondary) 'rm III "root" (so tentatively KB III), i.e. 'r + 
enclitic m, and then to analyse 'e(y)rom as qittul,  and 'arom as qatul (all 
vowels short in both cases).
 I am not myself 100 percent convinced of the truth of my opinion and want 
to know what  you think of the -om element and its vocalism?
