to kindle, fire, take fire (lighter) – WehrCowan1976
conc
▪ In DRS 7 (1997) #WRY-4, warà ‘to kindle, fire, take fire (lighter)’ features as an exclusively Ar value; no cognates given. Following Lane, the authors only specify that fire is produced here with the help of ↗zand wood.
▪ In contrast, Ehret1995 #973 sees Ar wary [vn. of warà] ‘to burn, blaze’ (though without parallels in Sem) as cognate to extra-Sem (Cush, NOmot) items and reconstructs AfrAs *war ‘light’. – Akin also to ↗ʔuwār ‘heat, blaze’ (< protSem *ʔR ‘fire, light’)?

hist
▪ eC7 ʔawrà [vb. IV, to kindle a fire (of a flint or the like), to strike (to make fire)] Q 56:71 ʔa-fa-raʔaytumu ’l-nāra ’llatī tūrūna ‘have you considered the fire you kindle?’ | mūrⁱⁿ (PA IV, one who strikes fire) Q 100:1-2 wa-l-ʕādiyāti ḍabḥᵃⁿ; fa-l-mūriyāti qadḥᵃⁿ ‘by the charging steeds, panting [in their assault]; and striking sparks of fire [with their hoofs]’
▪ For the vb. I, Hava1899 lists not only warà but also †wariya, yarī (wary, wury, riyaẗ). In addition to vbs. II and IV, he has also †ĭstawrà (X) ‘to produce (fire: flint)’, and the n.s †riyaẗ and waryaẗ (al-nār) ‘tinder, tow, dung (for striking fire)’; interesting also the use of the adj. †wāriⁿ (PA) and wariyy (quasi-PP) ‘yielding fire (steel); lusty’ in the fig. expressions wārī ’l-zand fī ’l-ĭqtirāḥ ‘extemporiser’ and misk wāriⁿ ‘musk of good quality’

cogn
▪ DRS 7 (1997) #WRY-4 Ar warā(y) ‘s’allumer (feu)’, wariya, warā(y) ‘produire son feu (briquet)’. [note:] Il s’agit de la production du feu par frottement de deux morceaux (↗zand) d’une certaine espèce de bois, v. Lane 1257, LA III/51.
▪ Ehret1995 #973: (Sem) Ar wary [vn. of warà] ‘to burn, blaze’, (Cush) Iraqw warʔes‑ ‘to flash (of lightning)’, (NOmot) SMao wəro ‘moon’.
