♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): ‘loop, handle, hold, grip, link, buttonhole and the like; to grip, to seize; to befall, to afflict, to come over; to desert, to let down; extreme coldness; forlorn camels’. A degree of overlappping between this root and the root √ʕRY exists, as might be expected of corresponding W and Y radicals.
