One thing surely: the meaning of אד, ED. So I will try my hand at it. ED appears to me to be a variant (as UD) of אש, ESH 'fire', and עשן, ASHAN 'smoke', and having the general sense of 'issuing forth, rising'. It is thus related also to עץ, ETZ 'tree', and to a host of other Hebrew single-consonant words with D, Z, T, TZ, S, SH.
