√ṢDQ 
“root” 
Ultimately, all items in this “root” go back to the same Sem etymon. But some are probably inner-Sem loans.

▪ ṢDQ_1 ‘to speak the truth’ ↗ṣadaqa
▪ ṢDQ_2 ‘(voluntarily given) alms’ ↗ṣadaqaẗ
▪ ṢDQ_3 ‘strictly veracious, upright’ ↗ṣiddīq .
▪ ṢDQ_4 ‘…’ ↗…

♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): ‘to say, tell, utter, speak the truth; to fulfil one’s promise; (of the morning) to shine clearly; to be true to (principles or friends); the truth; steadfastness; to befriend, friendship; charity, alms, to give alms to the poor; dowry’ 
▪ The root does not seem to be attested in ESem and therefore has to be regarded as a WSem innovation. Huehnergard 2011 reconstructs WSem *ṣdq ‘to be(come) just, righteous’.
▪ While [v1] in Ar is directly from the Sem, [v2] and [v3] are used in specific contexts, which is why they are likely to be inner-Sem borrowings.
