sorry for the delay in responding. did some checking on the phrase 'abreq ad habra' as the derivation of abracadabra. the supposed meaning 'hurl your thunderbolt even unto death' does not sound hebrew to me. the hebrew word for death is mavet. yes, barak means thunderbolt, abara means 'i will create'. there is also berah meaning fortress, bar meaning son, baruch meaning blessing, and abad meaning perish. without vowels and with meaning being subscribed to things over time, it is hard to say. i personally like the disappearing word meaning since it has a long history to the theory. nothing else i've heard has that depth.
