“root” 
▪ BḪR_1 ‘vapor, fume; steam’ ↗buḫār ; ‘incense; francincense’ ↗baḫūr
▪ BḪR_2 ‘to sprinkle a plantation’: only in †bāḫir
▪ BḪR_3 ‘to cure s.o.’: only in S dialects, †baḫḫar
 
▪ BḪR_1 ‘incense; francincense’ seems to go back to *‘effluvium, evaporation’
▪ BḪR_2 ‘to sprinkle a plantation’: perhaps related to BḪR_1. – Cf. also ↗√BḤR and ↗√MḪR.
▪ BḪR_3 ‘to cure s.o.’: uncertain, perhaps delocutive, formed from bi-ḫayr ‘well, in good health’.
