עזר Explanation: the letters are ayin-zayin-resh Yes, this root means 'to help'. The current meaning of the word 'ezer' is 'aid, help, assistance'. The more archaic/literary meaning is 'helper', e.g. a wife is described as a 'helpmeet' - ezer ke-negdo. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2006-09-05 23:28:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A teaching-aid is 'ezer-hora'a'. |
