†saḫar‑ سَخَر a (saḫr)

√SḪR 
vb., I 
to have a good wind and voyage (ship) – Hava1899, Lane4 (1872) 
Dictionaries of ClassAr explain the semantics of this item as derived from a primary meaning of the vb. ‘to make subservient’. Ultimately it may thus goes back to a Sem *ŠḪR ‘to be(come) fearful, numb, stock-still’. For the whole picture, cf. ↗SḪR and ↗saḫḫara. 
In ClassAr, the vb. is attested also as synonymous with ↗saḫira ‘to jeer, scoff, mock’ as well as with ↗saḫḫara ‘to subjugate, make subservient’. 
↗SḪR and saḫḫara. 
saḫarat il-safīnaẗ ‘the ship had a good wind’ is explained by some ClassAr lexicographers as based on the notion of ‘making subservient’: ‘as though it made the wind subservient, or submissive, to it’, or ‘it obeyed, and ran its (the wind’s) course’ – Lane iv (1872). If this is correct, the item belongs to ↗saḫḫara ‘to make subservient’.
