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.

Daniel Lundsgaard Skovenborg

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'.
