לעורר means "to rouse": to bring forth, to excite interest, make alert, or motivate an action.
It might sometimes be interchangable with להעיר (to wake up), but generally has a stronger sense.
Some examples:
לעורר לבבות - stir the hearts
עורר גל ביקורת - roused a wave of criticism
עורר בי בחילה - made me nauseous
עורר חשד- aroused suspicion
מצבנו הנוכחי עורר אותי לכתוב את זה- our current situation brought me to write this
הקפה עורר אותי - the coffee made me more alert

What comes to mind for me is לנשנש lenashnesh, "to nibble; to [have a] snack", from Yiddish nosh (which is also used in English, at least in the US).

The plural of ברייה for example, is בריאות
The passive participle of מילא for example isמילוי
I know that the root of both words ends on א . Is there a rule for the addition or substraction of א?

Alternatively, you can create yourself a custom keyboard with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.

Sorry, it doesn't seem to work with the regular Windows 10 keyboard (German).
