Dear Karl,
> HH: It's believed to be a different word in Hebrew, from a different
> root having to do with what is split, pierced, or slit.
Where's the evidence for such a root? What other words
is that alternate root used in?
... This root was recognized when BDB was put together; it mentions an Arabic cognate meaning to "perforate, pierce, slit the partition between the nostrils, or the lip, or the lobe of the ear." The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew also recognizes the root, as do translations (NET, HCSB).
