ש־ב־עس ب ع
š-b-ʿ “seven; to swear an oath” Hebrew builds words for 'seven' and for 'swearing' on the same root, perhaps because oaths were sealed with seven: šiḇʿāh 'seven' gave shiva, the seven days of mourning, and šeḇaʿ 'oath' is the usual reading of ʾĔlîšeḇaʿ, Elizabeth. Some read that name with ś-b-ʿ 'plenty' instead, a different root, so Elizabeth's place here is probable rather than certain.
