Karl and Kevin:

I suggest that you ponder the meaning of the niphal of this verb in Amos3:3.

There are many meanings for the root (DH.

The root here is Y(D, or as some say W(D. (DH is a root with the meaning of “to adorn” as in putting on jewelry. (DD is considered a variant of (WD to do a second time, as in reporting what one witnessed. Biblical Hebrew was pretty careful with its roots, not mixing them up even though their derivatives may share the same consonantal spellings.
