conc▪ Etymology unclear. DRS lists the word as a distinct value, without any obvious cognates.
▪ It may, however, be a vn., and if so, used in fig. sense, from the vb. I ↗ṭaraša with the original meaning of ‘to spread, besprinkle’, a herd of cattle or flock of sheep being regarded as ‘sprinkles’ scattered over the pasture.
▪ WehrCowan1979 registers the value as SyrAr (though part of the MSA vocabulary), and DRS too marks it as an EAr phenomenon.
