liberty
de.ror denotes proclaimed release for people and property, while one occurrence appears in the designation of myrrh.
The attested use chiefly concerns release publicly proclaimed: captives are addressed, inhabitants receive a consecrated-year proclamation, property returns, and a servant’s gift lasts until a designated year. One occurrence places the noun in the phrase describing myrrh, where its specific contribution beyond that designation is unclear from the verse.

Proclaimed release and its appointed year · dominant
In Leviticus 25:10 the singular absolute noun occurs in the command to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim release throughout the land, followed by return to possession and family. In Jeremiah 34:8, Jeremiah 34:15, and Jeremiah 34:17 it is proclaimed among people; Isaiah 61:1 directs the proclamation toward captives, and Ezekiel 46:17 sets a servant’s gift to return at the year named by the noun.

Designation associated with myrrh · rare
In Exodus 30:23 the singular absolute noun appears within the listed spices, in the clause the APB renders “the head of myrrh of liberty.” The verse shows its use as part of the myrrh designation, but does not isolate a more specific contribution from the translation.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the release passages, the APB repeatedly uses “liberty,” including proclamation to captives and a year of liberty. In Exodus 30:23 it instead preserves the phrase “myrrh of liberty”; That phrase does not establish a separate precise English rendering.
