conc

▪ ḥarakaẗ is one of the vn.s of the vb. I, ^†ḥaruka, u (ḥark, ḥarakaẗ) ʻto move about, shake, stir up’, now obsol., but still attested in Steingass1884 or Hava1899. Given the scarcity of cognates (only in modSAr), the further etymological background remains obscure, also with regard to the value’s relation to a horse’s withers (↗ḥārik) and the idea of impotence (^†ḥarak, see [v4] in root entry ↗√ḤRK).
▪ miḥrāk ʻpoker, fire iron’ is treated as a deriv. of ^†ḥaruka ʻto stir, stir up’ here, positing that it belongs together with ḥarakaẗ; however, DRS deals with it as distinct item in. For details, ↗miḥrāk.
▪ For *ʻmovement’ as the starting point of a hypothetical semantic development that would include not only miḥrāk ʻpoker, fire iron’, but also ḥārik ʻwithers’ and ^†ʻimpotence’, see section DISC in root entry ↗√ḤRK.
