▪ n.loc. VIII, lit., *‘place to consult each other’, from ĭʔtamara, vb. VIII, ‘to deliberate, take counsel’, Gt-stem, self-referential, lit., *‘to ponder (for o.s.) over an issue’, from ↗²ʔamr ‘matter, affair, issue, concern, business’.
▪ Some of the lexemes belonging to form VIII have, like those of form III (see ↗muʔāmaraẗ), developed the sense of ‘to conspire’. This is not the case for muʔtamar itself, but for most of the other form VIII lexemes (ĭʔtamara, ĭʔtimār, muʔtamirūn – see below, section DERIV).

▪ The underlying vb. VIII, ĭʔtamara, is attested in ClassAr not only with the meaning ‘to consult s.o. (on an affair, case, issue)’, but also in the more original, self-referential sense of the Gt-stem, ‘to consult one’s own mind, form one’s own opinion, follow one’s own judgment’. This value may be derived either from ¹ʔamr ‘command, order’ (*‘to let o.s. be guided by one’s own commands’) or ²ʔamr ‘issue, affair’ (*‘to look o.s. into a matter, case’).
