מֵ/הָ/עֵ֖בֶר
𐤌/𐤄/𐤏𐤁𐤓
ʻêber
from-the-side
A region or side that is across or beyond, typically used in reference to a space or area on the far side of a boundary, river, or landmark—most often the side opposite the speaker’s location. Frequently designates the territory or peoples east of the Jordan River (i.e., 'the other side', especially from the perspective west of the Jordan), but can refer generally to any land, quarter, or boundary region lying across or beyond a given point. In some contexts, used adverbially or prepositionally to indicate directionality, opposition, or passage to another side.
