I once heard it said that שמש $EME$, 'sun', is ש-מש $E-MA$, 'that moves'.
The words אורח ORAX, 'road, path' (Gen. 49:17), 'habit, manner', (Gen.18:11); אורחה ORXAH, 'company, caravan' (Gen. 37:25); ארוחה ARUXAH, 'dinner, meal, feast' (Proverbs 15:17), are all from the root ARX, which is a variant, methinks, of the root ARK, 'long, extended'. I rather think that ירח YAREAX is a variant if ZAREAX, 'shining'. The City name יריחו YERIXO may be related to YAREAX, or it may be a variant of יריקו YERIQO, 'green', or 'spitting, flowing', for the nearby river Jordan.
