√ʔSR 
n.f. 
family; dynasty; clan, kinsfolk, relatives – WehrCowan1979. 
The word depends on ʔasara ‘to bind, tie together’ and thus originally means a body that is held together by strong bonds. The idea of a coherent structure, a body, is also present in the adverbial structure bi-ʔasri-hī ‘entirely, completely, altogether’. For the wider context, cf. ↗ʔSR, ↗ʔasara, ↗ʔasr. 
▪ eC7 (ʔasr physique, build, bodily structure; constitution) Q 76:28 naḥnu ḫalaqnā-hum wa-šadadnā ʔasra-hum ‘We it is who have fashioned them and strengthened their constitution’
