Child Root (Branches of the Tree)
Pronunciation: "RuW-aHh"
Meaning: This root has the more specific meaning of the "throwing of the hand of man".
Comments: This child root is the wind. The Hebrew nomads were very familiar with the wind patterns as they would follow a prescribed path indicating the coming season. From this word comes the idea of breath as it is the wind of man which also follows a prescribed path of inhaling and exhaling. This word is often translated as "spirit" but hebraicly is the "breath". The ancient Hebrew saw the breath as an essential part of the man, just as much as the mind is.
