An essential Hebrew phrase for navigating the streets of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem without a watch is ?מַה הַשָּׁעָה (mah hah-shah-AH?) - what's the time?
The Modern Hebrew word for clock or watch is שָׁעוֹן (shah-OHN), deriving from the Ancient Hebrew word for hour or time - שעה.
The type of clock that wakes us up in the morning is an alarm clock in English. In Hebrew, however, it's literally a clock that awakens - שָׁעוֹן מְעוֹרֵר (shah-OHN meh-oh-REHR).
לְעוֹרֵר (leh-oh-REHR) - to awaken someone or something else - is an active-intensive פיעל verb of the root ע.ר.ר (a.r.r). For example, סִפּוּר הַנְּסִיעָה שֶׁלּו עוֹרֵר בִּי רָצוֹן לְבַקֵּר בְּפָרִיז (see-POOR hah-neh-see-AH sheh-LOH oh-REHR bee rah-TSON leh-vah-KEHR beh-pah-REEZ) - his travel story awakened in me the desire to visit Paris.
Another word of the same root that you may know is לְהִתְעוֹרֵר (leh-heet-oh-REHR) - to awaken oneself, or simply, to wake up. להתעורר is a reflexive-intensive התפעל verb. For example, הִיא הִתְעוֹרְרָה מֻקְדָּם הַיּוֹם (hee heet-oh-reh-RAH mook-DAHM hah-YOHM) - she woke up early today.
