conc

▪ Widely attested in Sem; from protSem *ḤǦR ʻto surround, gird, enclose, hence also: to hinder, bar’. – Ar ↗ḥuǧraẗ ʻroom, cell, compartment’ is originally an *ʻenclosure, separé’ (cf. also ^†ḥaǧǧara, vb. II, ʻêtre entouré du halo [se dit de la lune]; avoir l’œil entouré d’une cautérisation’ – BK1860).
▪ Another kind of ʻenclosure’ – a protecting one – is ↗¹ḥiǧr ʻlap’. Likewise, ↗maḥǧir ʻeye socket’ describes he cavity in the skull which encloses and protects the eyeball. In contrast, the notion of ʻpreventing access’ accounts for the value ʻmare’, as ḥiǧr also seems to have signified a place where female horses meant for breeding were kept apart; the word for the seclusion was then transferred to the animal itself ʻwhose womb was forbidden to all but generous horses’ (Lane ii: 517, ↗²ḥiǧr).
▪ For a discussion of the possibility of a semantic dependence of ḥaǧar ʻstone’ on ‘to prevent, hinder, restrain’, tentatively suggested by Kogan2015, see s.v. ↗ḥaǧar.
