Usage notes

 * Some prefer to use the root for physical senses and the root, pronounced the same, for abstract senses. However, the  states that this distinction has no historical basis as the latter is just the biblical spelling of the same root and was used also for the physical senses (See for example Deuteronomy 9:17).
