Peter:Karl, do you accept the possibility that the Hebrew meanings which, according to you, certain words "have" (although some of them seem to "have" these meanings in your opinion only, at least not in standard lexica or translations) might be refined and tightened up by reference to words in cognate languages?
In other words, there is no evidence from cognate languages.
This also illustrates potential pitfalls when looking at cognate languages,
for all the examples listed below already have Hebrew meanings:
K)R word in question, no cognates
KWR smelting oven, though not as hot as a KB$N which added foot operated
bellows for a hotter fire
KRH to provide, furnish
KRR to leap about, somewhat similar to the Arabic.
Which means that our only clues are context and early translations.
Karl W. Randolph.
