sheaf
a.mir denotes a gathered bundle of crop stalks, used in images of loading, threshing, and fire.
The attested usage presents a.mir as a gathered crop bundle in agricultural comparisons: a cart filled with such bundles, people gathered for threshing, and material among which fire spreads. Jeremiah 9:21 contains the form, but the APB wording does not visibly isolate its contribution.
