♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): [√ʕLW/Y] »The overlap between root ʕLW (basically associated with the concept ‘to rise’) and root ʕLY (basically associated with the sense ‘to mount up’) is so great that in some cases it is not possible, or even desirable to draw a line of demarcation between them. The semantic scatter of these roots includes: ‘height, exaltation, loftiness, honour, grandeur, to rise, to ascend, to tower, to mount, to overcome, to be arrogant, to be proud, pride, notables, tops and extras’. – The word ʕilliyūn is regarded by some scholars as a borrowing from either Hbr or Gz.«
