▪ ḤNW/Y_1: DRS 10 (2012) ḤNW/Y-1: «La valeur fondamentale semble être celle de ‘courbure’ qui est représentée partout. [Huehnergard2011 reconstructs protSem *√X̣NY ‘to bend, incline’.] Elle recouvre souvent celle d’inclination, au sens physique et psychologique, affectif.’ – Comparer sous ḤWN.»
▪ ḤNW/Y_2: prob. orig. *‘room with arched ceiling, vault’, from ḤNW/Y_1 ‘to bend, twist, bow, incline’; so DRS 10 (2012): «Le terme ḥānūt avec ses variantes est fondé sur la notion de ‘courbure’ dans les diverses langues. Il s’agit d’une suite d’emprunts» (Syr > Ar > Gz).
▪ ḤNW/Y_3: prob. based on ḤNW/Y_2 ḥānūt in the more general orig. sense of ‘vaulted room’, hence not only ‘tavern’ but also ‘burial chamber’.

▪ (ad DRS ḤNW/Y-1 and -3) Cf., however, Haupt, JAOS 28 (1907): 114, who maintains that ‑n‑ in [ḤNW/Y-3] ḥnw is an infix, added to a basic ḤW. In contrast, according to the author, »[ḤNW/Y-1] ḥnw ‘to bend, twist, incline’ has no connection with [Hbr] ḥnʰ ‘to encamp’: ḥnw ‘to bend’ is derived from the root ḤN, while ḥnw ‘to drink’ (with infixed n) [is] from ḤW« – a prob. untenable and unnecessarily complicating hypothesis.
