zawraq زَوْرَق , pl. zawāriqᵘ 
ID … • Sw – • BP … • APD … • © SG | 15Feb2021
√ZRQ, ZWRQ 
n. 
boat, rowboat, skiff – WehrCowan1979. 
▪ In DRS, zawraq is treated together with ↗zaraqa. If this is correct, the value ‘boat, rowboat, skiff’ can be explained as figurative use: a small boat (which elsewhere is often likened to a nutshell) is called a ‘bowl, basin’ here (cf. Ar †mizraq ‘drinking cup, [Freytag1830:] crater, phiala’, Hbr mizrāq ‘bowl, basin’). The latter value seems to be derived from ‘to sprinkle’, the basic value inherent in zaraqa. One could also imagine the small boat being likened to s.th. that is ‘thrown around’ or ‘scattered’ (by the waves).
