Earlier biblical names are a fata morgana. The whimsical partition of the name ABRAM into AB-RAM is not better than ABR-AM, or AB-RA-AM, and the spelling of the name with an aleph instead of with an eyin may be an intentional obfuscation by latter scribes. Why SARAY is spelled with a sin instead of a samek is obvious ––– to make us think it has something to do with SAR, 'prince'.
