You are right, the only question being is what is "theophoric". It is
reasonable to assume that R is thephoric,
as well as H, which is but mild X, as in היה HAYAH versus חיה
XAYAH, and which appears
in the name revealed (and explained) to Moses in the desert. In other
words, every consonant
(a uniliteral root) is a theophoric name for this or that theos
residing in the vast pantheon of the human mind.

Genesis 17: 5 is self-explanatory as to the meaning of )B R HM,
once one realizes that the interior resh/R there is used as a
generic theophoric.
