בְּרַךְ (bĕrak) is an Aramaic noun meaning knee. It appears 1 time in 1 book of the Hebrew Bible (Strong's H1291).
Root family 2641: בְּרַך bĕrak — kneel, bless. As in Hebrew, the two ideas of kneel and bless are in this word. The usage is very like Hebrew in that “kneel” is restricted to the active participle Peal with “bless” in the Qal for “kneel” and the Hiphil for “make kneel,” with bless in the infinitive and passive participle Qal and in the Piel (extensively) and Niphal and Hithpael. The word is used of blessing or praising God. It is not used of blessing men, but perhaps only because BA is so scant in amount
