קִרְבּוֹ	קֶרֶב: come near, approach noun, common, masculine, singular, construct with third person, masculine, singular suffix  ABr>qi-l[; The prepositions la, and l[; seem to interchange in later writings. One theory is that [ and a had come to sound alike and when the material was dictated the letters were sometimes confused. Another possibility is that we don’t understand the whole meaning of the words. Prepositions tend to be highly idiomatic, each having a multitude of nuances related to the context. English has not escaped this problem. Look at the sampling of the preposition in: To come in a rage, in a car, in a door, in a minute, in a suit, in a hurry, in spite of it all! There are two roots listed for brq One means come near, approach; the othe means inward part or midst. Notice the pointing because of the suffix.
