Dear Jack,

I like your metaphor. But I think that the core meaning of XRM is actually "set aside" (for the deity), which is also its meaning in Arabic. In this way, its core meaning is very similar to QD$. ...

Yigal, you may know more Arabic than I do, but from what I understand the meaning in Arabic is almost precisely opposite to QD$, much more like +M) and $QC.
