♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): ‘to be good, to be agreeable, to be willing, to mollify; to be wholesome, to become ripe; to regain health; to be fragrant, fragrance, perfume’. – It has been suggested by some scholars that the derivative ṭūbà is linked to a corresponding Syr and a common Semitic root. Other scholars attribute the derivative ṭūbà to a borrowing from Hindi.
