What does this abbreviation stand for?
What does this mean? (written about a rabbi of renown, often the author of a book, or the person buried, listed on a headstone)
הבחור כמ“ר
I have my guesses but I'd like a real answer, not my gut reaction. I assume that the bachur part is a statement of age, but is it specifically saying that the person in question is a young man?
Here is a book that uses it https://books.google.com/books/about/אלה_הדברים.html?id=zNREzQEACAAJ

An expansion that fits the letters and appears in halachic literature is:
Kevod Moreinu, R'
Note that כמו"ר, kevod moreinu verabbeinu, also appears in halachic literature.
Edit: thanks to Robev for checking Otzar Roshei Teivot, by R' Shmuel Ashkenazi, which agrees.
