HH: If "baHr" mans "son," then the horns could be part of a phrase
indicating a man of strength. Presumably a groom in a marriage would
be a person of strength. Horns are a symbol of strength in the Old
Testament.
More likely is the meaning ascribed to Moshe's "karnaim" - that his
face shown so much, that rays of light protruded from it.
