The primitive root.
Strong’s H7130 qereb, a concrete noun meaning, “midst,” from Strong’s H7126 קרב qarab, a primitive root meaning, “to draw near.” The 3-letter root is quph + resh + bet.
quph ק = sun on the horizon, thus condense, circle, time
resh ר = the head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
bet ב = the house, thus house, household, family, in, within
The story: That which draws (quph, as the light is drawn back to its source when the sun is on the horizon) the man (resh) home (bet).
