Hello Karl:

Thanks for your comments.

The context of the names in these eleven verses shows that the verb within
the name explains the name.

And given this name creation recipe, should not the source of all names be
found by simply "looking inside" each name to (and for) its verb origin? In
other words, context is unnecessary; just look at the name itself and
observe the verb root(s) within for proper understanding of the name? For
example the man, עמוס , .... to lift or carry a load ...?

And if reference to other languages unnecessary for hebrew name
understanding, why all the interest here in alien languages?

regards,

fred burlingame
