√WṬN 
vb., X 
to choose for residence (a place); to settle (a country); to settle down, get settled, take up one’s residence (DO in); to live permanently (DO in a place); to take root, become naturalized, acclimated (DO in) – WehrCowan1979.
 
See DISC below. 
▪ … 
↗waṭan, ↗waṭana. 
▪ It is not clear whether one should regard form X (ĭstawṭana, vn. ĭstīṭān) as being derived from the n. ↗waṭan ‘permanent dwelling, residence; home; place where the cattle lie down or are tied up, stable’ or from the vb. I ↗waṭana ‘to be accustomed to a place, stay there permanently, abide, dwell’. In any case, the meaning is autobenefactive, combining the causative notion of a Š-stem with the reflexive one of the T-stem.
