√ḤKR
ground rent, quitrent – WehrCowan1979.
Probably belonging to the complex treated s.v. ↗ḥakar (ḤKR_1 ‘to wrong s.o., be obstinate, hold s.th. back, hoard, monopolize’ rather than to that of Can ḤKR ‘rent, to let’ (cf. DRS ḤKR#2 in section COGN of disambig. entry ↗ḤKR).
▪ The meaning ‘ground rent, quitrent’ lets look ḥikr as if it could be akin to Can items signifying ‘rent, to let’ (cf. DRS ḤKR#2: Hbr JP ḥākar, TargAram ḥəkar ‘to let’, EmpAram ḥkr ‘rent’). The evidence of EgAr ḥikr ‘land or property owned by the government and leased to a private tenant’ (BadawiHinds1986) and EgAr, LevAr ḥakkara ‘to prevent s.o. from building on a ground’ (Hava1899), however, may serve as an indication for that the word, etymologically, perhaps is closer to ‘to hold back, hoard’, i.e., one of the values of ḤKR_1 (‘to wrong s.o., be obstinate, hold s.th. back, hoard, monopolize’, value treated under ↗ḤKR and, particularly, ↗ḥakar).
► ʔuǧrat al-ḥikr, n., ground rent, quitrent. For other items of the root, cf. ↗ḤKR, ↗ḥakar, ↗ḥākūraẗ.
