E-R-M – ‘progression and ascension of inner ardour, rising of dynamis’

6191. aram, aw-ram´; a primitive root; properly, to be (or make) bare; but used only in the derivative sense (through the idea perhaps of smoothness)…

6192. aram, aw-ram´; a primitive root; to pile up:—gather together.

ER – This root should be carefully distinquished under two differenct relations. Under the first, it is the root עו, image of physical reality and symbol of the exterior form of things which is united to the sign of movement proper ר; under the second, it is the sign of material sense united by contraction to the root אור, image of light, and forming with it a perfect contrast: thence, first:

ער Passion in general; an inner ardour, vehement, covetous; an irresistible impulse; a rage, disorder; an exciting fire literally as well as figuratively. Secondly:

ער Blindness, loss of light or intelligence, literally as well as figuratively; absolute want, destitution, under all possible relations; nakedness, sterility, physically and morally. In a restricted sense, the naked skin, the earth arid and without verdure: a desert. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 421)
