עֲקַר

נָתַשׁ nâthash · H5428 · to uproot, to destroy

A common Hebrew verb for pulling up, plucking out, or uprooting (often used of plants being uprooted or of demolition). While נָתַשׁ has broader destructive senses, its core 'uprooting/plucking up' sense closely parallels עֲקַר and both can refer to removing something from its rooted position.

שָׁרַשׁ shârash · H8327 · to take root

The Hebrew verb most directly associated with roots (שֹׁרֶשׁ), used both for taking root and (in causative stems) for causing to take root or eradicating roots. In its eradicative sense it is semantically very close to עֲקַר.

נָטַע nâṭaʻ · H5193 · to plant, to pitch (a tent)

The standard Hebrew verb for planting (setting something into the ground to take root). This is the natural lexical opposite of uprooting/plucking up by the roots: planting establishes roots, while עֲקַר removes them.

ἐκριζόω ekrizóō · G1610 · to uproot, to pull out by the roots

The primary Greek verb for uprooting or plucking up by the roots, used both literally (of plants) and metaphorically (of removing completely). This is the standard LXX rendering for Hebrew root-removal terminology and the natural translation equivalent.

Daniel 7:8 recounts that “three of the previous horns were plucked out before it.”

Non-Exist002002002006

This same clause in Daniel 7:8 — “three of the previous horns were plucked out before it” — carries the shared lemma-cluster grouping's near-identical “to be uprooted; to be destroyed” sense as well, since the horns being plucked out is the same event as their ceasing to exist.

This Impact code is inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping's “to hamstring” sense; this word's own occurrence describes a horn being plucked up by the roots, never an animal being hamstrung.
