Yigal,

Here is something else worth thinking about. How are we to understand the meaning of the root SRK [with sin] of Jeremiah 2:23 in relationship to its derivative SROK, 'thong, strap, lace', if not via SRX of Exodus 26:12-13 and Amos 6:4?

Yigal,

How about $LX, 'send away' and $LK, 'fling away', are they not "similar
words with the same or a very similar meaning" to warrant the
consideration of X and K as "interchangeable"?

anyone?
