In Hebrew, each letter also stands for a number (there are no numerals in Biblical Hebrew). Now, the word for bear is spelled dalet bet (DB, pronounced dob; there were no real vowels in Hebrew either: sometimes a consonant could also have a vowel sound, and vowel markings were added later). Dalet is the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, ...[text shortened]... aning,” but all the possible meanings, looking for symbolism, metaphor, word-plays, even puns.

Kirk, only people with a Narcissus complex think and talk like that. I don't believe the tricks you are performing to hide the fact that you are overweight. Tell me the truth .... and I bet you're bald too.
Originally posted by ivanhoeIt is widely known that I do not have much hair. No one could look at my pic and say that I am overweight though. I used to be a good runner but had a severe knee injury and cannot run anymore. Because I can't run, I do other exercises to stay fit. Have you know shame calling me overwieght when I have a physical condition that limits me. If I were as unstable as you think I am, I would start purging to lose weight.

Beyond me, froggy. 😕 I really don't know a lot about mythology in general. If we were talking Hebrew, I'd start by looking up the Hebrew word for "horn." (Is the Enuma Elish written in a Semitic language, that would be related to Hebrew? I think you said once, but I forget.)
I just like to play with the Hebrew and midrash, but I am far from fluent--I have to use a lot of tools.

I think Babylonian was Semitic.
this is from the site I looking at:
This is an etext of L.W. Kings' authoritative work on the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation myth. This etext includes the complete introduction, and the English text of the Enuma Elish and other related texts, with selected footnotes. The Enuma Elish is the earliest writt ...[text shortened]... archy or records of some cosmic catastrophe.

Originally posted by vistesdThank you! That would be me! Did I mention that my permanent limp was from wrestling an angel?
Okay, since you guys have me playing tonight—just for fun:
The Hebrew word for “bald” used in the relevant passage is QeReaH (spelled qof, resh, hey). Now, the letters QRH (with different vowel points), can also mean “cold,” from the QR root, meaning “cool,” “cold” or “quiet.” The same root, with the letter reversed—RQ—can mean “thin” or “lean”…. ...[text shortened]... ?
So, with a fast and loose midrashic “spin:” We could be talkin’ about a lean, cool dude!
