E-D – ‘sensual, sentient’

…image of every emanation and every division, constitutes a a very important root which, hieroglyphcially, develops the idea of time, and of all things temporal, sentient, transitory. Symbolically and figuratively it is worldly voluptuousness, sensual pleasure in opposition to spiritual pleasure; in a more restricted sense, every limited period, every preiodic return. The actual time; a fixed point in time or space expressed by the relations to, until, near: a same state continued, a temporal duration, expressed in like manner by, now, while, still; a periodic return as a month; a thing constant, certain, evident, palpable, by which one can give testimony; a witness. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 414)
