BR This root is composed either of the elementary root אר, united to the sign of interior activity ב, or of the sign of movement proper ר, contracted with the root בא: thence, first every active production with power, every conception, every potential emanation; second, every innate movement tending to manifest exteriorly the creative force of being.
Hieroglyphically, it is the radius of the circle which produces the circumference and of which it is the measure: figuratively, a potential creation: that is to say a fruit of some sort, whose germ contains in potentiality, the same being which has carried it: in the literal sense, a son.
