Near synonyms 3 words

פָּתַח pâthach · H6605 · to open, to open up: Both lexemes genuinely overlap in the "open" semantic space—פָּשַׂק (pâsaq, H6589) "open (wide)" and פָּתַח (pâthach, H6605) with its core sense "(be, be set) open(-ing)" are plausible same-language near-synonyms describing opening actions.
פָּצָה pâtsâh · H6475 · to open (one's mouth) wide, to rescue, to deliver: פָּצָה has the broader usage ‘deliver, gape, open, rid, utter,’ while the target lexeme is narrowly glossed ‘open wide.’ The two are near-synonyms in the shared sense of opening.
פָּעַר pâʻar · H6473 · to open (one's mouth) wide: Both lexemes are genuine action verbs meaning "to open wide" or "gape," sharing the same semantic space (physical opening/gaping). These are plausible near-synonyms—distinct Hebrew roots expressing overlapping senses of wide opening.
