√ḪMR
to cover, hide, conceal; for other meanings see ↗ḫamara_1 – WehrCowan1979.
▪ DRS 10 (2012)#ḪMR-5 sees Ar ḫamira ‘se cacher devant qn’, ḫamara ‘couvrir, envelopper, cacher’ as a value that neither has cognates in Sem, nor outside. So also Huehnergard 2011. Cf., however, section "Discussion" below, as well as ↗ḪMR.
Ar lexicographers regard this value as the original one, of which ↗ḫamara_1 ‘to leaven, ferment’ is derived (*‘to cover s.th., esp. dough, juice, etc., so that it leavens, ferments, etc.’). EtymArab follows DRS where the value is listed separately.
▪ Ar ḫimār has been loaned into Engl as khimar (Huehnergard2011).
► ḫammara, vb. II, = I. – Cf. also ↗ḫamara_1.
► taḫammara, vb. V, to veil the head and face (woman): probably denom. from ḫimār. – For another value cf. ↗ḫamara_1.
► ḫimār, pl. ʔaḫmiraẗ, ḫumur, n., veil covering head and face of a woman:.
