▪ eC7 Q v, 46, 67, 68 – Jeffery1938.
▪ Jeffery1938: »The reference is to usury and to forbidden foods. It is clearly a technical term, and the passages, it will be noted, are of the latest Madinan group. / Sprenger, Leben, iii, 40, n., suggested that it was a technical term borrowed from the Jews, and there certainly is an interesting parallel from the Talmud, Šabb, 140b, where śḥt is used in this technical sense. It is, however, the Syr šūḥtā ‘depravity, corruption’, etc., which gives us a nominal form from which suḥt may have been derived.«
