Qal Imperfect3masculine singular suffix יִשְׁרֵ֫הוּ Job 37:3 he (God) lets it loose (i.e. the thunder).
Pi`el Perfect1singular suffix שֵׁרִיתִ֫ךָ Jer 15:11 Qr I will set thee free (compare Jer 40:4 ᵑ6 ᵑ7), but dubious; Kt שרותך (i.e. שָָׁרוֺתִךָ, √ שׁרר), Thes Gie I vex thee [שָׁרַר = צָרַר, very dubious]; Ew and others RV strengthen thee; this yields best sense, but as Aramaic שׁרר is intransitive, read then שֵׁרַרְתִּךָ or הֲשֵׁרוֺתִךָ, Dr; Jerome Rabb read שֵׁרִיתְךָ = שְׁאֵרִיתְךָ thy remnant (AV).
II. שׁרה (√ of following; compare Arabic be moist; Aramaic תְּרָא, id.; grape-juice; Late Hebrew שָׁרָא soften, dissolve; whence following properly = moisture (DiNu Dr§ 178 PatersonNu Hpt GrayNu), and so Assyrian mešru, succulence (HptPaterson Nu)).
