pâthach
and opens
To open, make accessible, set free, or begin an action, either literally or figuratively. In its primary sense, the verb denotes causing something to become open or unobstructed (e.g., opening a door, gate, or mouth), but it is also used in contexts of freeing from constraint, initiating events or speech, and, less commonly, describing the act of engraving or carving by creating an opening or groove. The word frequently connotes making something accessible, commencing a process, or removing boundaries that prevent motion, action, utterance, or visibility.
