ˀrw conj./inte behold

1 presentative particle BA^Dan, Qumran. Dan7:2 : חָזֵה הֲוֵית בְּחֶזְוִי עִם־לֵילְיָא וַאֲרוּ אַרְבַּע רוּחֵי שְמַיָּא מְגִיחָן לְיַמָּא רַבָּא I was watching in my night-time vision and there were the four winds of heaven stirring up the great sea.

2 because, since Qumran.

The single LJLA example (CTLevi ar b) must be seen as a survival from the origin Qum text (or simply an error for ארי?) rather than an indication of LJLA usage.
