 רפא
-'repa' appears to mean "deformed".
+Although there are issues in ascertaining a consistent meaning for 'repa', it seems that 'repa' is related to "healing", due to it being the root of [[irepa]] ("heal") and [[repaot]] ("medicine")
-Chronicles 20:6 tells of a man with six fingers and six toes who was born deformed.
+'repa' is the root word of [[repaim]] and therefore plays an important role in clarifying the difference between [[repaim]] and a hypothetical [[repehim]].

-רפא
-The word 'repa' (often pronounced 'rapha') is difficult to translate due to its seemingly opposite ostensible meanings.
+It is also the root word of the name of the character, [[repal]] aka Raphael.
-At times it is translated as "healing", but sometimes it seems to indicate "death".
+In only one outlying case, 'repa' (LexID 7496) appears to mean "deformed". 1 Chronicles 20:6-8 tells of a man with six fingers and six toes who was born deformed. In this case although the word is spelled 'repa', it seems likely that the intended word was actually [[repeh]]
-Applying the 'im suffix results in [[repaim]], translated as both "the healers" and "the dead"/"ghosts", and sometimes "giants"
+There is a non-zero possibility that this word is [[cognate]] with "repair".
-Further analysis is required.
-Several Strongnumbers are implicated: 7495, 7496, 7497, 7498, 7499, 7500, 7501
-It is the root word of [[repaim]] and therefore its role in clarifying the difference between repaim and [[repehim]]
