DRS 3 (1995)#DʔB: Hbr *dāʔab ‘languir’, dᵉʔābōn ‘faiblesse, langeur’, nHbr hidʔīb ‘couler, fondre’; JP dᵉʔēb ‘couler, se tourmenter, s’inquiéter’, dᵉʔābā ‘tristesse, angoisse’, Mand dʔb ‘languir’, Ar daʔaba ‘travailler assidûment à qc., peiner, faire effort’, daʔb‑ ‘état, condition’, ʔadʔub (pl.) ‘habitude, coutume’, daʔban ‘habituellement, sur le champ’, MorAr dābā ‘maintenant’; Ḥaḍr dʔb ‘exécuter un travail’.
▪ [v2] is likely to be the primary sense, [v1] only secondary, cf. DISC under ↗DʔB.
▪ daʔb ‘habit’ probably derives from [v2] rather than from [v1].
▪ According to Nallino et al., a pl. †ʔādāb (< *ʔaʔdāb < *ʔadʔāb) served as basis for the (back-) formation of the sg. ↗ʔadab so that the notion of ‘habit, custom’ was added to the primary value of ↗ʔDB in Sem, which is ‘to invite’.
