√WṮN
▪ WṮN_1 ‘idol, graven image’ ↗waṯan
▪ WṮN_2 ‘…’ ↗… ♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): ‘staying firm, being constant, (of land) being rained on, having great wealth, (of women) being endowed with literary talent, being an idol, being an object of worship’. – There is a great degree of overlap between derivatives of this root and the root WTN (q.v.), which perhaps suggests a historical sound change or (historical) dialectal variation in the second radical.
