1. In Judges 4:14 it is ותאמר דבורה WA-TO-MER DBORAH, not WA- T-DABER DBORAH.
2. We have already mentioned the possibility that the T in TAMAR is not radical, and we looked at the example of the pairs A$ERAH - TA $UR, EREZ - TIRZAH, OREN - TOREN. Thus, it is possible that the essence of her name is MAR or AMAR, but even then, the AMAR is 'lofty, noble' (see Deut. 26:17-18), and has nothing to do with 'saying'. Her key role was, indeed, faithfulness, audacity, and nobility, not talkatively. I don't think that the Hebrew bible is playing word games.
