▪ For Schall1982, tāǧir is a borrowing and the basis from which all other TǦR items are derived. But it is more likely that it is a regular PA from the vb. I, taǧara, which is denominative from ↗tiǧāraẗ (which is the real borrowing, via Aram, from Akk).

hist

▪ Jeffery1938, 90-91: tāǧir occurs commonly enough in the old poetry, particularly in connection with the wine trade.¹

disc

▪ Schall1982 would derive Ar tāǧir via Aram ṯaggārā from Akk tamkāru ‘merchant’,¹ and the latter from Sum damgar ‘id.’. – Cf. however HalloranSumLex3.0, who says that Sum dam-gàr(-a) is in itself borrowed from Akk tamkāru, not the other way round. – Cf. also the arguments, put forward by Jeffery1938, against tāǧir as the n. that is dependent on Aram taggārā; the direct loan is rather Ar ↗tiǧāraẗ ‘merchandise; trade, commerce’; for details see s.v..
