sa`arah (samekh+ayin+resh+he) is "storm"
` ayin or ` ein (ayin+jod+nun) is "eye", "spiritual eye", "Schein" (shine) =
=3D=0D
or "spring/fountain"
"(ha)chashmil" (chet+shin+mem+lamed)?: Don't know exactly - having to do wi=

th fire, electricity etc. (chashmal=3Delectricity,=20
chashm=E9l=3Delectrify...)
"amber" (Bernstein) would be `inbar (ayin+nun+bet+resh)
"ynogah": could you spell it in Hebrew?
