כבד KaBHaiD (to honor, respect,
as in honoring parents in Exodus 20:12)
is a guttural-bilabial-dental or throat-lip-tooth word
with 1) a Kahf-Bet sub-root plus 2) a Bet-Dalet sub-root.
The Kahf-Bet sub-root is seen in K כבשaBHahSH (to subdue).
The Bet-Dalet sub-root word is seen in עבד [A]BHahD (to serve).
Whether an indentured servant or a loving child, giving honor and respect involves SUBDUING one’s ego to be in a position of SERVING another.
כבד KVD is weight and honor, treating one as a heavyweight, and not treating them lightly.
The heavy כבד[ KaBHeD] lifting
of a servant [ עבד GHeBHeD ]
can be a heavy burden on some grown children.
