The question isn't "could it" but "did it" and nothing in any etymology indicates it did. There are different root/origins. Crossing between them is your personal reading but not one borne out by the words of the text.

So now that we have dispensed with a literal serpent/snake that "eats dirt and goes on its belly" what is left to conclude?​

 

[rosends]

The serpent/snake certainly was.

Was what? What are you talking about?

 

[Woodznutz]

Was what? What are you talking about?

The noun serpent was constructed from verbs, which eliminates it from the aforementioned "eating dust and going on its belly".

Women still do eat dirt.

If you're interested in soil for sale for women to eat, known as geophagy, here are some options:

• Online Retailers: Some platforms cater specifically to geophagy, offering a selection of edible clays and soils.
  
  1
• Health Food Stores: Certain health food stores may carry edible clays like bentonite clay or kaolin clay.
  
  1
• Specialty Shops: Ethnic grocery stores or specialty shops may have specific types of edible soils or clays.

  While geophagy is a practice that has been documented across cultures, it's essential to ensure that the soil you purchase is safe for consumption and intended for that purpose.

No, you posted text which places it's etymology as from an onomatopoeia . And I didn't say a noun/verb adaptation couldn't happen, just that you have no evidence that it did.

And you completely missed why I posted the bit about the snakem

I just posted the etymology of the Hebrew for serpent/snake for you. The evidence is supported by the narrative.

 

[rosends]

I just posted the etymology of the Hebrew for serpent/snake for you. The evidence is supported by the narrative.

But that etymology says nothing about nouns and verbs. You are very confused.

 

[BreezeWood]

You are very confused.

I didn't write the article (one of many on the subject). I also didn't write the account in the Bible. I just put two and two together and came up with four.
