1480) rs (סהר ShR) AC: Tie CO: Cord AB: ?: The pictograph s is a picture of the teeth representing pressure, the r is a picture of the head representing the top or beginning. Combined these mean "press the beginning". Ropes and cords were usually made of bark strips such as from the cedar or from the sinew (tendon) of an animal. The rope is made by twisting two fibers together. A single fiber is attached to a fixed point (top) , and the two ends of the fiber are brought together. One fiber is twisted in a clockwise direction and wrapped over the other fiber in counter clockwise direction. The second fiber is then twisted in clockwise direction then wrapped around the first fiber in a counter clockwise direction. The process is repeated through the length of the rope. The twisting of the fibers in opposite directions causes the fibers to lock (press) onto each other making a stronger rope. The rope is used to tightly secure or support something, such as a load to a cart or the poles of the tent.

Qal Imperfect 3 masculine singular suffix יִשְׁרֵ֫הוּ Job 37:3 he (God) lets it loose (i.e. the thunder).
Pi`el Perfect 1 singular suffix שֵׁרִיתִ֫ךָ Jeremiah 15:11 Qr I will set thee free (compare Jeremiah 40:4 ᵑ7ᵑ6), but dubious; Kt שרותך (i.e. שָָׁרוֺתִךָ, √ שׁרר), Thes Gie I vex thee [שָׁרַר = צָרַר, very dubious]; Ew and others RV strengthen thee; this yields best sense, but as Aramaic שׁרר is intransitive, read then שֵׁרַרְתִּךָ or הֲשֵׁרוֺתִךָ, Dr; Jerome Rabb read שֵׁרִיתְךָ = שְׁאֵרִיתְךָ thy remnant (AV).
II. שׁרה (√ of following; compare Arabic be moist; Aramaic תְּרָא, id.; grape-juice; Late Hebrew שָׁרָא soften, dissolve; whence following properly = moisture (Di Nu Dr§ 178 Paterson Nu Hpt Gray Nu), and so Assyrian mešru, succulence (Hpt Paterson Nu)).
שָׁרָה i.q. Ch. שְׁרָא to loose.
Piel, שֵׁרָה to loose, Jeremiah 15:11 קרי, שֵׁרִיתְךָ לְטוֹב “I will loose thee for good,” i.e. I will set thee free. The Hebrews appear to have used this verb also in a bad sense (לְרַע), for to desert, on which account there is added in this place לְטוֹב.
Derivatives, מִשְׁרַה, שֵׁרוּת.
II.
שָׁרָה perhaps i.q. Arab. شرى to shine, to glitter (as lightning); hence שִׁרְיָה, שִׁרְיוֹן a coat of mail.
