Dear all, is there any tentative connection between the word:
ברך and ברכה (bless and pools respectively)? I remember
very long ago reading an article by a Rabbi (name forgotten) who made
a distinct an interesting case for the fact that Bless was not the
root but that bless came from the idea of a collection of water, this
latter concept being the root. It is because I can not find any
references to this idea that I am asking board members for their
qualified input, also I have read that the noun 'Knee' gave rise to
the verbal idea? Again am not able to access any reliable sources
about this. And thankyou in advance.
