Karl and others,

I only see question marks where the hebrew letters are supposed to be.

Chris:

This root is not found in Tanakh. The noun, ????? or ???? refers to a
"way, direction one should go, (by)way"

Other words include ??? a way for travelers going from city to city,
??? path, not for wagons, ???? highway, an embanked road suitable for
wheeled traffic, ???? cowpath (from ??? calf)? or rutted track (from
??? circular)? hard walkway (hardened by many people treading on it),
???? city street, lined with shops.

Dear Members,

While this root according to Gesenius and Davidson has the signification of
Treading, Trampling; I read also that the Arabic refers to a path that is
elevated, (like maybe a royal pathway). However they say that the Nun? can
not refer to this (by that I have absolutely no idea what he is talking
about). But since we have the word root: Dalet Resh Qaf meaning precisely
the same I wonder whether or not the former root has something 'extra' or a
'subtler shade' in its meaning?

Can anyone elaborate please?

Thankyou,
Chris,
Ireland.
