Shalom and thanks for the response. I know the root HRM (XRM) has several meanings, e.g. devote, dedicate, ban, confiscate, and others, but I was unaware that it is also “tall, massive, mighty”. Aside from the name Hermon, are there other examples of the use of words or names of the root HRM with this meaning?

The purpose of the inserted personal pronouns is to add the declaration "he is", to XRM.
