disc▪ Cf. also †ǧawqaẗ, pl. -āt, n.f., ʻcrowd, numerous party’ – Hava1899.
▪ The obsolete †ǧawwaqa, vb. II, ʻto muster a crowd’ (= DRS #GWQ-2), and †taǧawwaqa, vb. V, ʻto meet in large numbers’ (Hava1899) are prob. denom. from ǧawq.
▪ ClassAr also knows the value ʻdistortion’ as a value of ǦWQ = DRS #GWQ-1, cf. e.g. †ǧawiqa (a, ǧawaq), vb. I, ʻto have a wry face’; †ʔaǧwaqᵘ, f. ǧawqāᵘ, pl. ǧūq, adj., ʻwry-mouthed; big-necked’ (Hava1899). For these, DRS notes that Dillmann considered a relation to Gz gʷəḥqʷa ʻto bend (intr.), be distorted, to stooped, bent, curved, bowed (because of old age), to become weak’. However, given that (accord. to DHDA) the first attestation of this value – the adj. †ʔaǧwaqᵘ ʻwry-mouthed’ – is from a very late date (845 CE) and given also the doubtfulness of the Gz parallel, one should not exclude the possibility of a development *ʻtroop, group > to call together a group, muster a crowd; to cry at s.o. > to have a wry mouth (like s.o. crying at a group/troop to make them assemble)’. But this is highly speculative.
