To lift something, in Hebrew, is להרים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/בראש-מורם-2.mp3″ /], an active-causative verb of the root ר.ו.מ (r.w.m) meaning height. Likewise, מורם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/בראש-מורם-3.mp3″ /] – an adjective derived from the passive-causative verb form – means lifted up

So that when someone walks with their head held high – with a lifted head – they do so בראש מורם[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/בראש-מורם-1.mp3″ /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/בראש-מורם-4.mp3″ /]היא יצאה מהישיבה הסוערת קצת בהלם, אבל בראש מורם.

She walked out of the stormy meeting a bit in shock, but with her head held high.
