Jīm founds the name in the rounded vessel of beauty and the verbal sense of mending. Ba places it in second presence, the dwelling where what is broken comes to rest. Ra rolls forward in continuous motion, and the closing Nun draws the whole into the depth where healing settles. A bearer of Jibran is one who carries the act of restoration as his standing posture: he gathers what is broken, holds it, moves it forward, and settles it into depth.
