An ePub version would be nice because ePub fits all screen- and font sizes, 
while the PDF's with columns are a bit cumbersome to read on an e-reader.

Regards,

Seems to me that TAXRIR is from the root XRR, 'perforate', namely  
'breach a penetrating hole by locally scraping, fragmenting and  
shredding the inner solid matter'. The added TA- and inserted -I- are  
the personal pronouns ATAH and HI for the thing itself, as in Uri's  
example TA-LM-IY-D. The late Hebrew $IXRUR is likewise from the root  
XRR  but now with the inserted -U- for HU, and with the pre-attached  
$I-, which seems to me to be a variant of $E-, or ZEH-, 'this'.

The root XRR or XR is a variant of KRH כרה 'dig', QR( קרע  
'tear', (QR עקר 'uproot, extract', and many more. It is extended to  
XRC חרץ 'scratch, score', XR$ חרש 'plow, furrow, trench', KRT  
כרת 'cut, chop, pare', and many more.

The basic idea of all these roots is separation, detachment,  
disconnection, disengagement, and hence, by implication, 'set free,  
turn loose'.
