disc▪ From the five values given in DRS, three are represented in Ar.
▪ However, the entry in DRS seems a bit strange:
- It does not have the value ‘vermicelli pastry, kunāfa ’.
- It does not have the ClassAr value (no longer MSA) ‘bag, pouch, knapsack’ (kinf), cf. Ullmann WKAS.
- It classifies the regular (ClassAr and) MSA value ‘lavatory, latrine, toilet, privy’ as specifically MġrAr.
- It separates the value ‘to surround, enclose, etc.’ from ‘shelter, to protect’.
▪ In contrast, the present entry groups ‘to surround, enclose, etc.’ together with ‘shelter, to protect’ as one value, treats ‘toilet’ as a current MSA item, and adds ‘kunāfaẗ’.
▪ ‘toilet’ (KNF_3) is originally *‘the sheltered place’, a specialised meaning of a quasi-PP from vb. I. In ClassAr, the original meaning is still attested: Ullmann WKAS gives ‘surrounding, covering, protecting (of a shield)’, ‘enclosure, pen, fold, paddock, barricade (of shrubbery)’, ‘lavatory, closet, latrine, privy’.
