Something else caught my eye there. They say: השורש צב"י במשמעות 'רצון' רגיל בלשון הארמית, וייתכן שממנה הוא חדר אל העברית
I am just wondering how a root can express such an evolved concept as 'desire'. Also, how can an Aramaic root "penetrate" חדר the Hebrew language; a word I may understand, but a root? Is there, actually, a word in the Hebrew language, having CBY as root, and meaning desire? I doubt it.
