Here is something to think about. What is the relationship between the plant name $AMIR, Isaiah 5:6, and $MIR-AH, 'guarding'? Also, between DBA$, 'honey', and DABE$-ET, 'hump', Isaiah 30:6, and what is, then, the meaning of the root DB$? Is mount LBANON so called because it is capped white, or vice versa? Is the LBEN-AH, 'brick', white? Is the LBIB-AH, 'pancake', LBAB-IT?
RIMON is an idol name possibly related to RAM or RAAM. See 2R 5:18.
