Exegesis
The simile marker kaf in kivriakh {כִּבְרִיחַ | ki-bri-ʾaḥ} ‘like a bolt’ likens disputes to a physical barrier, culminating in the noun armon {אַרְמֽוֹן | ʾar-mōn} ‘fortress’. This parallel comparative-simile structure underscores the severity of alienation by equating relational rifts with impenetrable fortifications.
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–resh–mem
“citadel, palace”
In context — Proverbs 18:19
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city; and disputes are like the bars of a fortress .
