▪ [gnrl] : If DRS is right, the Sem root ḪRṬ displays 4 major values, all of which are represented in Ar (1 only in MġrAr). There is, however, enormous diversity within DRS’s #ḪRṬ-1, which would cover all of values [v1]-[v4], kept distinct here for systematic reasons. If DRS’ juxtaposition is valid, [v2]-[v4] are somehow fig. use of and/or semantic extensions from [v1]. Given (still with DRS) the wide attestation in Sem, one may assume a common origin of [v1]-[v4] and its cognates in Sem *ḪRṬ ‘to pull\scrape off, strip’. – Values [v5] and [v6] are not mentioned in DRS, while [v7] and [v10] are treated under √ḪRṬṬ. ^†[v8] corresponds to DRS #ḪRṬ-4, and ^†[v9] to DRS #ḪRṬ-3.
▪ [v1] : Ar ¹ḫaraṭa ‘to pull off, strip (leaves from a tree)’ may have preserved the Sem etymon *ḪRṬ ‘to pull\scrape off, strip’ rather faithfully. As can be seen from what DRS regards as cognates of the Ar items (see DRS #ḪRṬ-1 in section COGN, below), there is considerable semantic diversity within this group across Sem, so that it is difficult to decide which of the values should be more original than others; but the Ar [v1] is certainly a strong candidate. The value ²‘to turn, shape with a lathe (wood, metal)’ is widespread in Ar as well and seems to have in its turn formed the basis for further semantic developments (see [v2], perh. also [v3], unless directly from [v1]). Despite its obvious old age, however, this development seems to have remained an Ar ideosyncrasy, a special use of the original *‘scraping, stripping’.
▪ [v2] : The value ‘to exaggerate, boast, brag, lie’ (³ḫaraṭa) is prob. the result of fig. use of the secondary aspect of [v1], ‘turning, shaping with a lathe’ (²ḫaraṭa). According to WehrCowan1976, this semantic development is specific to EgAr; in DRS the value is marked as SyrAr EAr.
▪ [v3] : ⁴ḫaraṭa ‘to cut into small pieces, mince, chop, dice (meat, carrots, etc.)’ could be a specialisation based on either ¹ḫaraṭa ‘to pull off, strip (leaves from a tree)’ or ²ḫaraṭa ‘to turn, shape with a lathe (wood, metal)’. However, given the fact that the semantic relation between these and ‘to cut, mince, chop’ is not self-evident, it is perh. safer, for the moment, to keep the value apart.
▪ [v4] : A relation of vb. VII ĭnḫaraṭa ‘to join, enter, affiliate with, penetrate, plunge headlong into, embark rashly upon’ and [v1] ‘to scrape off, strip; to turn, shape with a lathe’ or [v2] ‘to exaggerate, boast, brag, lie’ or also [v3] ‘to cut, mince, chop’ is less than obvious. If [v4] has somehow developed from [v1], the line of derivation may be imagined as *‘to get quickly rid of the bark, etc. (for so to be free to go over to s.th. else and) > plunge into, embark rashly upon’. But this is still rather speculative. DRS does not list this value. Interestingly enough, however, Klein1987 establishes a similarly distinct value for postBiblHbr hiṯḥārēṭ ‘to repent, regret’ (from a homonymous root ²ḤRṬ) and puts Ar ĭnḫaraṭa ‘to do ignorantly’ (sic!) alongside with it.
▪ [v5] : no obvious semantic relation between SyrAr ḫarrāṭaẗ ‘skirt’ and any of the other values; perh. *‘easy to strip off’ (in which case it would be derived from [v1]). The value is not mentioned in DRS. If not from √ḪRṬ, it may be a borrowing (< Akk ?). For more details and discussion, see entry ↗ḫarrāṭaẗ.
▪ [v6] : Prob. via It carta (< Lat c(h)arta) from Grk χártē ‘sheet of paper’, itself perh. a borrowing (with metathesis, from Eg sḫr.t ‘bundle of papyrus rolls, scroll’?). The earlier form, Grk χártēs‘leaf of paper, made from the separated layers of papyrus’ (LidellScott1901), may be the origin of, or have the same etymon as, Ar ↗qirṭās. In MSA, ḫāriṭaẗ has become confused with, and ousted by, ḫarīṭaẗ (in ClassAr meaning ‘leathern container, receptable’, see ^†[v9]; the confusion may have become possible because maps used to be stored in leathern receptables). – For more details, and also a possible etymology of the Grk χártēs, see entry ↗ḫāriṭaẗ.
▪ [v7] : For ḫarṭīṭ ‘rhinoceros’, see s.v. (arranged s.r. ↗ḪRṬṬ).
▪ ^†[v8] : The etymology of ^†ḫaraṭ ‘coagulation of the milk in the udder’ and related items ² is obscure. DRS lists it as a distinct value (#ḪRṬ-4), but without cognates in other Sem languages.
▪ ^†[v9] : In Hava1899, ^†ḫarīṭaẗ is rendered as ‘leathern bag for silkworms’ eggs’, while Lane ii 1865 has still the more general ‘receptable, pouch, purse (of leather, rag, etc.)’.³ The word is a nominalized quasi-PP I describing, originally, *‘scraped off’ leather, hence also bags or other receptables made thereof. – The confusion of the old, genuine ḫarīṭaẗ ‘leathern receptable’ with the younger borrowing ḫāriṭaẗ (prob. from It c(h)arta, see above, [v6]) as ‘map, chart’, was perh. possible because maps used to be kept in leathern containers. According to DHDA, ḫarīṭaẗ is first attested in 681 CE (in the sense of ‘leathern container, receptable’), while ḫāriṭaẗ appeared only much later (not attested in sources of the first three Islamic centuries).
▪ ^†[v10] : Formed on the rare pattern XIII (ĭFʕawwaLa), the vb. ^†ĭḫrawwaṭa comes with a variety of values of which some hardly can be linked to any of the other values represented in the root. One is ‘to become long (beard); to protract (bi‑ a journey)’. Etymology obscure.
▪ ^†[v11] : Another strange value of^†ĭḫrawwaṭa is ‘to hurry on’. Etymology obscure.

√ḪRṬ

vb., I

1 to pull off, strip (leaves from a tree); 2 to turn, lathe, shape with a lathe (‑h wood, metal); – 3 u (EgAr) to exaggerate, boast, brag, lie; – 4 u (EgAr) a to cut into small pieces; b to mince, chop, dice (meat, carrots, etc.) – WehrCowan1976

▪ [v1] : ḫaraṭa in the sense of ‘to pull off, strip (leaves from a tree)’ may have preserved the Sem etymon *ḪRṬ ‘to pull\scrape off, strip’ rather faithfully. As can be seen from what DRS regards as cognates of the Ar items (DRS #ḪRṬ-1, see below, section COGN), there is considerable semantic diversity within this group across Sem, so that it is difficult to decide which of the values should be more original than others; but the Ar value is certainly a good candidate (see below, section DISC).
▪ [v2] ‘to turn, shape with a lathe (wood, metal)’ is widespread in Ar and seems to have itself formed the basis for further semantic development (see [v3] and [v4]). Despite its obvious old age, however, this development seems to have remained an Ar ideosyncrasy, a special use of the original *‘scraping, stripping’, i.e., [v1].
▪ [v3] ‘to exaggerate, boast, brag, lie’ is prob. the result of fig. use of [v2], where the fabrication of lies etc. is compared to ‘turning, shaping s.th. with a lathe’. According to WehrCowan1976, this semantic development is specific to EgAr; in DRS, however, the value is marked as SyrAr and EAr. Or should one compare Copt šōrt ‘to confuse; to be mentally confused, crazy, obsessed’? The latter is prob. fig. use, from Copt šort, šoort, šart ‘veil, cover’ (< Eg ḫrd ‘bundle of linen’) – Westendorf2008.⁴
▪ [v4] : The meaning ‘to cut into small pieces, mince, chop, dice (meat, carrots, etc.)’ of ḫaraṭa could be a specialisation based on either [v1] ‘to pull off, strip (leaves from a tree)’ or [v2] ‘to turn, shape with a lathe (wood, metal)’. However, given the fact that the semantic relation between these and ‘to cut, mince, chop’ is not self-evident, it is perh. safer, for the moment, to keep the value apart.
▪ [gnrl] : For historically attested values that clearly are akin to those of the present entry, see below, section HIST. For other (possibly related) values, see section DISC.
▪ [gnrl] : A relation of vb. VII, ↗ĭnḫaraṭa ‘to join, enter, affiliate with, penetrate, plunge headlong into, embark rashly upon’ and any of the other values of ḫaraṭa may exist, but is hard to establish. If ĭnḫaraṭa has somehow developed from [v1] ‘to strip/peel off (bark, etc.)’, the line of derivation may be imagined as *‘to get quickly rid of the bark, etc. (for so to be free to go over to s.th. else and) > plunge into, embark rashly upon’. But this is rather speculative. DRS does not list ĭnḫaraṭa. Interestingly enough, however, Klein1987 establishes a similar, distinct value for postBiblHbr hiṯḥārēṭ ‘to repent, regret’ (from a homonymous root ²ḤRṬ) and puts Ar ĭnḫaraṭa ‘to do ignorantly’ (sic!) alongside with it.
▪ [gnrl] : ^†ḫarīṭaẗ ‘receptable, pouch, purse (of leather, rag, etc.)’ (↗^†ḪRṬ_9) seems to be a quasi-PP I describing, originally, *‘scraped off’ leather, hence also bags or other receptables made thereof. – For confusion and semantic merger ḫarīṭaẗ ~ ḫāriṭaẗ ‘map, chart’ (prob. from It c(h)arta), see ↗ḫāriṭaẗ.
▪ [gnrl] : No obvious semantic relation with other items from same root, √ḪRṬ. SyrAr ↗ḫarrāṭaẗ ‘skirt’ is perh. *‘(the garment that is) easy to strip off’ (in which case it would be derived from [v1]). The value is not mentioned in DRS. |
▪ [gnrl] : The etymology of ^†ḫaraṭ ‘coagulation of the milk in the udder’ (↗^†ḪRṬ_8) and related items⁵ is obscure. DRS lists it as a distinct value (#ḪRṬ-4), but without cognates in other Sem languages.
▪ [gnrl] : For the rare vb. XIII, ^†ĭḫrawwaṭa, and its various meanings, cf. ↗^†ḪRṬ_10-11.

▪ Hava1899 lists some more historically attested values that shed more light on the semantics in question here:

To [v1] we may put : ^†ḫaraṭa (u, i; ḫarṭ) ‘to beat off (the leaves of a tree); to pick (grapes with the hand)’ ; ^†ḫaraṭa (I) and ^†ḫarraṭa (II) ‘to purge s.o. (medicine)’ (< * ‘to make s.o. get rid of unwanted food, etc.’), hence also ^†ĭnḫaraṭa (VII) ‘to be slender (body)’ ; ^†ĭḫtaraṭa (VIII) ‘to unsheathe (a sword)’ ; the adj. ^†ḫarūṭ (pl. ḫurṭ) for ‘restive (animal)’ is obviously fig. use, likening an obstinate animal to a twig that resists being stripped of its leaves or bark.

Ad [v2] : ^†ḫurāṭaẗ ‘parings falling from a lathe’

Ad [v3] : ^†ḫaraṭa ‘to brag; to crack a joke’, (?) ^†ḫarūṭ (pl. ḫurṭ) ‘blunderer; humbug’

SAr verbs and their derived forms also have fig. meanings: ‘to dispute, insult’.

▪ The reconstruction of Sem *ḪRṬ ‘to pull\scrape off, strip’ can be based on Akk ḫarāṭu ‘to eat, devour (leaves, etc.) | (von Soden, AHW:) abfressen (wie Heuschrecken), i.e., eat away, gnaw off (like locusts)’, Ar ḫaraṭa ‘to remove (bark), strip (a tree)’, MġrAr ḫarəṭ ‘to scrape, plane’, Soq ḥeroṭ ‘to draw; to pluck’, perh. also Ug ḫrṭ ‘to pluck (geese, etc.)’; Jib ḫaroṭ ‘stripping a branch of leaves and fruit’ may be an Arabism.

▪ While the vb. VII ĭnḫaraṭa also occurs in the pass. sense of ‘to be turned, be lathed, be shaped with a lathe’ (where it is from ↗²ḫaraṭa), a relation of the values ²‘to join, enter, affiliate with, penetrate, plunge headlong into, embark rashly upon’ and ³‘to labor, slave, toil’ to any of the values of ↗ḫaraṭa is hard to establish. What could be the common denominator of ‘joining, entering, affiliating with; penetrating; laboring, toiling’ on the one hand, and ‘scraping off, stripping’, ‘shaping with a lathe’, ‘fabricating lies, boasting, bragging’ and ‘cutting, mincing, chopping’, on the other hand? If ‘joining, entering, affiliating with’ etc. is somehow dependent on ‘scraping off, stripping’, a derivation trajectory may be imagined as *‘to get quickly rid of the bark, etc. (for so to be free to go over to s.th. else and) > plunge into, embark rashly upon’. But this would be highly speculative. – DRS does neither list ĭnḫaraṭa nor items with similar semantics. In contrast, and interestingly enough, Klein1987 establishes a homonymous Hbr root ⁱⁱḤRṬ alongside the main ⁱḤRṬ; under ⁱⁱḤRṬ he groups postBiblHbr hiṯḥārēṭ ‘to repent, regret’ and list Ar ĭnḫaraṭa ‘to do ignorantly’ (sic!) as a cognate.
▪ An item with a similar meaning, traditionally likewise ascribed to √ḪRṬ, is the rare vb. XIII ^†ĭḫrawwaṭa in the sense of ‘to be entangled (bi‑ in a snare; hunter); hence (?) also : to become long (beard); to hurry on; to protract (bi‑ a journey)’ – Hava1899.

1 (SyrAr) skirt; 2 ↗ḫaraṭa – WehrCowan1976

▪ While ḫarrāṭaẗ, in EgAr, signifies a [v1] ‘chopping\mincing knife, mezzaluna’ and is as such an ints-formation, used as a quasi-n.instr., from EgAr ↗⁴ḫaraṭa ‘to cut into small pieces, mince, chop, dice (meat, carrots, etc.)’, the SyrAr value [v2] ‘skirt’ does not have a self-evident etymology. Perhaps it is the *‘garment that is easy to strip off’, in which case it would be derived from ¹ḫaraṭa. – For other possible etymologies, see below, section DISC.

▪ ...

▪ The value ‘skirt’ is not mentioned in DRS but confirmed in several sources. If it is not from ¹ḫaraṭa ‘to strip off’, it is likely a borrowing. Hoch1994 #353 mentions the item as possibly related to Eg *ḫariṭa or *ḫariṭ (?) ‘a garment?, bag\purse?’, a word with unclear meaning but apparently signifying s.th. that is »always ... made of fine linen«. »Perhaps«, the author speculates, one has to compare »BiblHbr ḥᵃrîṭîm, sometimes rendered ‘purses’, which occurs in a list of women’s garments (Isa. 3:22), but is used to wrap pieces of silver (Kings 5:23). The Hbr word is apparently related to Ar ḫarīṭaẗ ‘bag’, modSyrAr ḫarrāṭaẗ ‘skirt’. The Akk ḫurdatu (a garment or cover), although dubious,¹³ is another possibility. Černý (Ety.Dict. 252) identified the word with ^SCopt šort ‘awning, veil’, but the connection is not certain.« – Given that the value ‘skirt’ of ḫarrāṭaẗ seems to be a specifically Levantine phenomenon, an Akk etymology would look more likely than a Copt one. But the morpho-phonological structures of Ar ḫarrāṭaẗ and Akk ḫurdaẗ are quite different, so that also an Akk etymology would be problematic. Moreover, Hoch’s equation of ḫarrāṭaẗ ‘skirt’ with ḫarīṭaẗ ‘(leathern) bag, purse, receptable’ is doubtful, as the latter is a quasi-PP I, orig. prob. meaning *‘scraped off’, sc. referring to the leather, while the Faʕʕālaẗ form of ḫarrāṭaẗ rather has active connotations. And: if the meaning ‘skirt’ were simply a semantic development from ‘bag’ – a skirt seen as a ‘container’ – then why should Levantines not have taken ḫarīṭaẗ itself?
▪ ...

13. According to CAD, Akk ḫurdatu (C), a garment or cover, is perh. to be connected to either ḫurdatu (A) ‘vulva’ or ḫurdatu (B), signifying a part of a chariot pole or of a house construction.

▪ Rolland2014̈ (s.v. ḫarīṭaẗ, var. ḫāriṭaẗ ‘carte (de géographie)’¹⁴ et q˅rṭās ‘cahier, feuille, papier’) : « Seraient tous deux issus – directement ou via les formes latinisées carta et chart – du Grk χártēs ‘rouleau de papyrus’. C’est l’opinion de Rajki, confirmé par Nişanyan. / Mais si l’emprunt semble avéré pour qarṭās, les choses sont moins claires pour ḫarīṭaẗ, que la plupart de nos auteurs semblent considérer comme un simple dérivé adjectival substantivé du verbe ḫaraṭa ‘dépouiller une branche de ses feuilles’. Auquel cas, l’origine de [Grk] χártēs étant inconnue, tout laisse supposer, pour ce mot comme pour bon nombre d’autres mots grecs, une origine sémitique (phénicienne?) commune à Ar ḫarīṭaẗ et au Grk χártēs. / Dans un deuxième temps, l’arabe aura emprunté à son tour Grk χártēs sous les formes ḫāriṭaẗ et qarṭās. / Du même étymon : ḫarṭūš ou ḫarṭūšaẗ ‘cartouche’ < Fr cartouche < It cartoccio, proprement ‘cornet de papier’, diminutif de carta ‘papier’ ; et [Ar] kārtūn ou kartūn ‘carton’ < Fr carton < It cartone, augmentatif de carta.

14. Lane et Kazimirski, qui ignorent le sens moderne de ‘carte de géographie’, traduisent ḫarīṭaẗ par ‘sac, cabas’. Bellot fait une distinction entre ḫarīṭaẗ ‘sac, cabas, sac dans lequel on suspend des œufs de ver-à-soie’ et ḫāriṭaẗ ‘carte de géographie’. Reig ignore ce dernier, et Wehr donne les deux mots comme synonymes avec le seul son de ‘carte de géographie’.

▪ Not from Ar ḫāriṭaẗ ~ ḫarīṭaẗ, but perh. from the main source is Engl card : »(eC15) ‘a playing card’, from oFr carte (C14), from mLat carta/charta ‘a card, paper; a writing, a charter’, from Lat charta ‘leaf of paper, a writing, tablet’, from Grk χártēs ‘layer of papyrus’, which is prob. from Eg (see below). The form has been influenced by It cognate carta ‘paper, leaf of paper’. Compare chart (n.). The shift in Engl from -t to -d is unexplained« – EtymOnline.
▪ Cf. also Fr chartre, from ClassLat chartula ‘petit écrit’, en LLat et mLat ‘acte, document’, from ClassLat charta ‘feuille de papyrus préparée pour recevoir l’écriture’, d’où ‘écrit’ et ‘lettre’, spécialement en LLat (pl.) ‘écrits, actes authentiques; pièces d’archives’; en mLat ‘acte dispositif’ – CNRTL.
▪ Grk (χártē <) χártēs is, in its turn, quite likely to be a borrowing. Beekes and others (EtymOnline, Kluge, etc.) assume that the donor must have been Eg; but, apparently, there is no semantically or phonologically obvious Eg etymon. The only candidates in TLA that could come close to Grk χártēs are the divine epitheton Eg ḥr.jt-wʾḏ=s ‘the one (goddess) who is on her papyrus column’ and sḫr.t ‘bundle of papyrus rolls, scroll’. The former is semantically prob. too specialised to pass as a serious candidate for the etymon of Grk χártēs; the latter could fit with regard to the semantics, but we would have to assume a metathesis Eg sḫr.t [> *ḫrts] > Grk χártēs. So, is it perh. from a Sem language (Phoen?, as Rolland2014 asks)? This would be similar to the view, put forward by ClassAr sources, that ḫarīṭaẗ is a quasi-PP I from ¹ḫaraṭa, i.e., the *‘(container made from) scrapped off (skin, i.e., leather)’.

“root”

There seem to be 2 main themes:

▪ ḪRF_1 ‘to talk foolishly’ ↗ḫaraf
▪ ḪRF_2 ‘autumn, fall; lamb’ ↗ḫarīf, ↗ḫarūf

▪ From protSem *√ḪRP ‘to be early, do (something) early’, with associated nouns denoting ‘early season’ – Huehnergard2011.
…

–

▪ For ḪRF_1 cf. DRS 10 (2012) s.v. ḪRP-3: Hbr *ḥārap ‘railler, insulter’ [BDB ḥārap̄ ‘to reproach’, prop. ‘to say sharp things against’, cf. Aram ḥᵃrap̄‑ ‘reproach’, Syr ḥarep ‘to sharpen’, ḥarīp ‘sharp, keen’, (CAD) Akk ḫarāpu (ḫarābu)‑ ‘to cut’], Ar ḫarifa ‘avoir le cerveau troublé, délirer, radoter (vieillard)’, Maġr ḫarrəf, or. ḫarraf ‘débiter des balivernes, radoter’, ḫrāfa ‘conte’, Jib ḫarof ‘débiter des absurdités, des inepties’.

For ḪRF_2 cf. ibid 10 (2012) s.v. ḪRP-2: Akk ḫarāpu (also ḫarābu) ‘être précoce’ [CAD ‘to be early’], ḫarp‑ ‘précoce’ [CAD ḫarpu ‘early’], ḫarpū (pl.) ‘autumn’ [CAD ḫarpū plurale tantum 1. (OA only) ‘(early) harvest’, 2. ‘summer’], ? Ug ḫrpnt ‘autumn’, Hbr ḥoręp‑ ‘autumn, autumn and winter’ [BDB ḥoräp̄ ‘harvest-time, autumn’], Ar ḫarīf ‘autumn, autumn rain’, ḫarāf ‘temps de la récolte des fruits’, YemAr ḫarīf ‘année (en cours)’, Maġr ḫrīf ‘arrière-saison, automne’, ḫrəf ‘passer de saison, cesser de donner des fruits’, Sab Qat ḫrf ‘autumn’, Qat ‘autumn harvest, year’, Mhr ḫarf, Jib ḫorf ‘période des pluies de mousson (de juin au début de septembre)’, Soq ḥorf, Hars ḫōref ‘autumn’, Gz ḫarif ‘l’année en cours’. – Akk ḫurāp‑ ‘mouton de l’année’ [CAD ḫurāpu adj. ‘spring (lamb/kid)’, from OB on], Ug ? ḫrpt ‘brebis (?)’, Syr ḥūrpā ‘brebis d’un an’, Ar ḫarūf ‘agneau, jeune mouton mâle, jeule poulain’, Min ḫrf ‘mouton (?)’. – [CAD ḫurpu ‘early crop’] Ar ḫarīf ‘cueilli (fruit), feuille d’automne, feuille tombée’ [BDB ‘freshly gathered fruit’], YemAr taḫarraf ‘to harvest’, Mhr ḫayref ‘mûrir, fleurir’, Jib ḫerf ‘produire des fruits’, Soq ḥorf ‘fruit, récolte’, Ḥars ḫōref ‘cueillir’. – ḫerefōt ‘petit lièvre’.

While ḪRF_1 and ḪRF_2 really seem to be different items,¹⁵ the relation within ḪRF_2 between ‘autumn, fall’ (↗ḫarīf) and ‘lamb’ (↗ḫarūf) is probably the fact that the lamb is called after the season, or a one year-old lamb after the return of the season in which it was born, a lamb thus being ‘the fall-born’. Cf. cognates as quoted from DRS above.

15. It seems problematic to assume a relation between the ‘autumn’/‘lamb’ complex on the one hand, and ‘talk foolishly’ on the other. The only possible connection I [S.G.] could imagine is that, if ‘to cut’ (as preserved in Akk and Syr) is the oldest meaning, then ‘autumn’ could be the *‘season of cutting, harvesting’, and the values ‘current year’ and ‘lamb’ could in turn be derived from this latter: ‘season of harvesting’ > *‘yearly return of the season of harvesting’ > *‘yearly return’ > a) ‘(current) year’; b)… > *‘one year old lamb’ or… > *‘lamb that is slaughtered after one year’ > ‘lamb’.

The value ‘(to take a) shortcut’ (ḪZN_2), to be found in dictionaries of ClassAr as well as MSA (WehrCowan1979), is missing from DRS and without obvious relation to ḪZN_1.

▪ ḪZN_1: Jeffery1938 (#ḫazānaẗ) thinks that »it is fairly obvious that ḫazana is a denominative vb., and the word has been recognized by many Western scholars as a foreign borrowing«. He dismisses, however, Hoffmann’s suggestion to derive ḫazana from Pers ganǧ ‘treasure’ (from which is Ar ↗kanz). Instead, he thinks that »Barth, Etymol.Stud., 51, makes the happier suggestion that it may be connected with the form that is behind the Hbr ḥōsän ‘treasure’«, a theory that is taken up by Huehnergard2011 (#ḪSN), who thinks that Ar ḫazana ‘to store’ is from Aram ḥassen ‘to possess, hoard’, D-stem of ḥəsan ‘to be strong’, Sem √*ḪSN. – Ar items from ḪZN denoting some kind of political or executive power are usually seen as deriving from ‘treasury’, the person in charge of the latter often fulfilling a higher governmental function. This latter may seem to bring the Akk ḫazannu ‘chief magistrate of a town, of a quarter of a larger city, a village or large estate’ (CAD), mentioned in DRS as a distinct value (ḪZN#2), close to ḪZN_1 (DRS: ḪZN#1); but this is a mere coincidence or a later overlapping, for the Akk word is probably from Sem √*X̣ZY, not from ḪZN (cf. Huehnergard2011: MishHbr, JudAram hazzân ‘superintendent, cantor’, from Akk ḫazannu ‘administrator, mayor’, perh. from earlier *ḫāziyānum ‘overseer’, PA of protAkk vb. ḫazāyum ‘to see’).

1 to store, stock, lay up, hoard, amass, accumulate; 2 to contain, conceal (s.th., e.g., oil, minerals; of discovery sites); 3 to keep secret, keep (a secret) – WehrCowan1979.

▪ Jeffery1938 and others believe the vb. to be denominative, but opinion differs as to what may be the etymon. The theory that it might be taken from Pers ganǧ ‘treasure’ is dismissed, given that ganǧ is likely to be origin of ↗kanz and that another, different derivation would be little probable. Instead, Jeffery follows Barth in assuming that the word »may be connected with the form that is behind the Hbr ḥōsän ‘treasure’«, an idea which is supported by Huehnergard2011 who thinks that Ar ḫazana ‘to store’ is from Aram ḥassen ‘to possess, hoard’, G-stem ḥəsan ‘to be strong’, Sem √*ḪSN).
▪ The pl. maḫāzin, from the n.loc. ↗maḫzan ‘storeroom, depot, etc.’, is at the origin of Eur words like Fr magasin ‘warehouse’ or Engl magazine, while ḫaznaẗ produced Slav words for ‘treasury’.

▪ DRS 10 (2012)#ḪZN-1 Ar ḫazana ‘garder, enfermer, conserver (dans un magasin, un cellier, etc.), maḫzan ‘magasin’, ḫizānaẗ ‘armoire’, DaṯAr ḫaznaẗ ‘trésor’; Jib ḫozun ‘mettre en lieu sûr’.⁷

7. Cf. also YemAr ḫazzan, Mhr ḫōzən ‘garder du qât dans la joue pour le mastiquer’, d’où ‘s’adonner à la consommation du qât’.

▪ Jeffery1938, 122-23: »The verb ḫazana does not occur in the Qurʔān, but besides ḫazānaẗ [sic!] (which occurs, however, only in the pl. form ḫazāʔinᵘ), we find a form ḫāzin ʻone who lays in storeʼ in xv:22; and ḫazanaẗ ʻkeepersʼ in xxxix:71,73; xl:49; lxvii:8. – It is fairly obvious that ḫazana is a denom. vb., and the word has been recognized by many Western scholars as a foreign borrowing.¹⁶ Its origin, however, is a little more difficult to determine. Hoffmann, ZDMG, xxxii, 760,¹⁷ suggested that we should find its origin in the [Pers] ganǧ. This ganǧ which BQ defines as zar va-gowharī keh dar zamīn dafn konand, is cognate with Skr gañǧa (= kīša), a ʻtreasuryʼ or ʻjewel roomʼ,¹⁸ and has been borrowed through the Aram gnzā; Syr gnzā into Ar as ↗kanz.

Hoffmann, ZDMG, xxxii, 760,²² suggested that we should find its origin in the [Pers] ganǧ. This ganǧ which BQ defines as zar va-gowharī keh dar zamīn dafn konand, is cognate with Skr gañǧa (= kīša), a ʻtreasuryʼ or ʻjewel roomʼ,²³ and has been borrowed through the Aram gnzʔ; Syr [gazzā, from] *ganzā into Ar as ↗kanz.

√ḪLǦ

bay, gulf; canal – WehrCowan1979.

Etymology still rather unclear, due to lack of Sem cognates and semantic variation within Ar ↗ḪLǦ. Nişanyan makes ḫalīǧ dependent on ḫaliǧa ‘to writhe (with pain, etc.)’ (ḪLǦ_1) while ClassAr lexicographers put it to ḫalaǧa ‘to drag, pull out, separate’ (ḪLǦ_2) and DRS hesitates to assign it to either of the two, preferring to list it as a value in its own right (ḪLǦ_3). In the first case, ḫalīǧ would be *‘the curved one’, likened to a person writhing from pain; in the second, the bay or gulf would be regarded as s.th. *‘diverted, branching off’; and in the third, it would remain without etymology.

▪ No direct cognates in Sem. – For items that may be cognates if the word is based on either ḪLǦ_1 or ḪLǦ_2, or both, see “root” entry ↗ḪLǦ.

Morphologically, a derivation from ḪLǦ_1 or ḪLǦ_2 does not seem impossible. The pattern FaʕīL, a quasi-PP, can have the function of a PP (as in *‘the diverted one’) or express the intense presence of a quality in s.th. (as in *‘the curved one’).

► al- Ḫalīǧ, n.topogr., name of Cairo’s ancient city canal which was abandoned and leveled at the end of the 19^th century
► al- Ḫalīǧ al- fārisī, n.topogr., the Persian Gulf
