His etymologies are his own. He sees things his way. Like, he insists the 
earth was first created in principle. He justifies this with ideas like 
light coming before the sun. He seems to know nothing of the destruction. 
The second verse of Gen 1 can be translated as the earth "became" ... 
everything after that is a reconstruction of earth. The story line 
manipulated by the final editors. This was seemingly known by the 
translators of the King James version, where we find in the 28th verse of 
chap 1: Be fruitlful, multiply and REplenish the earth.

As far as what I have taken from his work, his base ideas concerning the 
meanings behind the individual letters ... is correct.

regards
Jim
