Pathros Pathros

Pathros is the name of Egypt's South Region (that's Upper Egypt) was known.

The name Pathros is probably a transliteration of the Egyptian pe-te-res, meaning South Land, but it may have reminded the Hebrews of the verb patar (patar 1860), meaning interpret (dreams). But that word neither contains nor explains the letter samek.
Some words of interest: pata (pata 1853), entice, deceive, persuade. Derivation peti (peti 1853a) means simple, foolish. pat (pat 1862a) means fragment, bit.
The verb rasas (rasas 2181) means moisten. Derivation rasis (rasis 2181a) means drop of dew. The identical but untranslated root rasas (rss 2182) yields identical derivation rasis (rasis 2182a), meaning fragment.
