Hence also the theophoric name שלמה as in 2Sam 12:24

so i think that also in the word אפרים, the M is just a suffix to give the description - like חנם with חן)
So I think that this suffix comes to describe the attidue of the aspect.
Would you expand for us please on what is the "description of the attidue (attitude?) of the aspect."

וְאֵת שֵׁם הַשֵּׁנִי קָרָא אֶפְרָיִם כִּי הִפְרַנִי אֱלֹהִים בְּאֶרֶץ עָנְיִי
Was he so called because he was doubly (very) dark skinned (as was mommy?), the color of אפר, 'soot'?

Isaac,
It's more likely that אפר meadow is the meaning especially in contrast to ארץ עניי.

You are right, פְּרָ֗ת is methinks a variant of פרד or פרץ.

Ah, and what about the name of the continent אפריקה Africa, is it also, like אֶפְרָיִם, from the Semitic אפר?

Yes, that makes so much sense, especially in light of the glowing theory of Edenics.

(Please, tell me that someone here sees the sarcasm here.)

Africans are certainly fruitful like Ephraim. Are they the p’ri hagafen? Are they a sweet smelling aroma?

Isaac,

Do you, claiming that you don't read qamats qatan as [​o​], read ישמר differently in יִשְׁמֹר and יִשְׁמָר־ (whether joined by maqaf to the following letter or bearing a pronominal suffix)? In other words, do you read the ḥolam in the red below differently than you read the qamats in the blue?

יְֽהוָ֗ה יִשְׁמָרְךָ֥ מִכָּל־רָ֑ע יִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ר אֶת־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃
יְֽהוָ֗ה יִשְׁמָר־צֵֽאתְךָ֥ וּבוֹאֶ֑ךָ מֵֽ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃


Nearly everyone who reads this pronounces both as the same imperfect form: yishmor. It doesn't matter if it's independent (יִשְׁמֹר yišmōr) or joined (יִשְׁמָרְךָ yišmorḵá or יִשְׁמָר־צֵאתְךָ yišmor-ṣēʾṯḵá).
