Summary

The Roman corpus proposes m-r-s as a comparison for Mars, joining Arabic marasa “to rub” and mārasa “to practice or engage in” with a semantic field of forceful motion and conflict. The structural essay reads Mars as organized state power rather than unbounded violence.

Sound Changes

The consonantal skeleton m-r-s aligns superficially with Mars, but the source supplies no regular phonological chain or dated intermediary; the comparison is primarily functional and consonantal. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md)

Entities Using This Root

The root is applied to Mars, whose organized warfare is compared with Ares, Resheph, Nergal, and the state function of Assur. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md) (المصدر: raw/roman/مقارنة_بنيوية_بين_يانوس_والأنظمة_السامية.md)

Semantic Evolution

The proposed semantic path runs from forceful friction or exertion to practiced action and then to organized martial force; it is an interpretive sequence within the corpus, not a demonstrated lexical history. (المصدر: raw/roman/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_الرومانية.md)
