hug a tree , and wish it Happy Tu B'Shat

To honor Tu B'Shvat, New Year for trees, we begin by
pulling up the roots of TREE, תרזה TiRZaH. This is
clearer in Polish, where TREE is drzewo.

The generic Hebrew tree, עץ [E]TS or GHeTS (with
the harsh Ayin) didn't give the world many TREE words, as
much as wood words like STICK (harsh Ayin-Tsadi reversed)
and LUTE (from Arabic el ude, the wood).

The אילן ILaN, shade tree, became the ELM after a
nasal (nose letter) shift. There are a dozen borrowed tree
names, like SYCAMORE from שקמה SHiQMaH, or MYRTLE from
מר MoaR (MYRR). Dozens more borrowings would cite the
Semitic were dictionaries more professional.

For example, the TAMARASK is "Asian," rather than from the
תמר TaMaR, date palm. The upright תמר TaMaR gave Man
the pillar. Just nasalize the word (add an M or N) to get
TIMBER.

Nasalize the צ-ב Tsadi-Bhet root of the Edenic pillar to
get STUMP. (Oh yes, shift the bilalbial, lip letter, as
well.) A book can take up all the parts of trees, with
their many words, begining with FRUIT, from
פרות PeROAT (fruit).

Finding the פרי PReeY (single fruit) in PEAR or aPRIcot
is simple. But one must know their letter shifts to find
aPPLE, PLum or BERRY.

Just because bible translators render the רמון
RiMOAN as a pomegranite
doesn't mean that it's not behind the LEMON (shift of
liquid, or tongue letters).

Why celebrate trees in the dead of winter? Because now the
SAP begins to run deep within the trees, as they silently
plot a resurrection in the spring. The SEEPING SAP is from
זבה ZaBHaH (to slowly emit liquid).

Except for the evergreens and firs, ברוש
B'ROASH in Edenic, source of BRUSH, the trees have lost
their leaves. They look lifeless and boney.
Why? Shouldn't they grow MORE leaves to catch the lesser
supply of sunlight?

Every sailer knows that you must lower or even cut down the
sails in a storm. With a billion green sails up during the
windy winter, many trees would get blown down.

Most trees have a palmate design. Lift up thy palms, be
thankful.
And a quick hug wouldn't hurt, though I do have cactuses
here.
