√ḤǦR 
n. 
1 ↗ḥaǧar; 2 (= maḥǧir al-ʕayn) eye socket – WehrCowan1976. 
▪ n.loc., from ↗ḥaǧara ʻto surround, gird, enclose, hence also: to hinder, bar, and to protect, defend’. Thus, the word originally describes the cavity in the skull which encloses and protects the eyeball. Cf., however, also †ḥaǧǧara, vb. II, ʻto be(come) surrounded by a thin line, a halo in the clouds (the moon); to burn a mark round the eye of the camel with a circular cauterizing instrument’ (Lane ii, BK1860).
▪ For other derivations from ↗ḥaǧara, see , e.g., ↗¹ḥiǧr ʻlap’, ↗²ḥiǧr ʻmare (kept for breeding)’ or ↗ḥuǧraẗ ʻroom, chamber, compartment’, perh. even ↗ḥaǧar ʻstone’.

For other values attached to the root, cf. ↗ḥaǧara, ↗¹ḥiǧr, ↗²ḥiǧr, ↗ḥuǧraẗ, and ↗ḥaǧar, as well as, for the overall picture, ↗√ḤǦR.
