√MRS
strength, power – WehrCowan1979.
It is difficult to decide whether ‘strength, power, force, effort, energy’ is a value in its own right, or whether it depends either on ‘to soak (and at the same time mash, i.e., exert power on the soaked material)’ (↗marasa) or on the ‘rope’ (↗marasaẗ) that has fallen from the pulley and is now rubbing ‘vehemently’ against it, obstructing its movement.
↗MRS, ↗marasa), perhaps also ↗marasaẗ.
▪ The notion of ‘strength, power, force, effort, energy’ is certainly one of the most basic ideas in the root √MRS, and many other items are derived from it. But is it also the primary meaning? No vb. I and no simple n. other than marāsaẗ is to be found that could help decide this question. See DISC in ↗MRS.
NB: None of the following items are derivations, in the proper sense, from marāsaẗ, but akin to it.
