ṣabāru II
REVIEW
Meanings:
to bend (?)
de:German: Deutsch umbiegen (?)
Grammar:
pos: v.Verbroot: ṣbrIII
Etymology: Inherited Cf. Aram. ṣbr “to heap up”, see Sokoloff 2017, 457; Tal 2000, 722. Cf. also HALOT 999 with ref. to Arab. ṣabara “to tie, bind”. Note perhaps also Hebr. ṣpr, which is rendered (in qal) as either “to go away” or “to bend” in HALOT 1050 (I). A connection to ṣapāru can thus not be excluded.
