▪ Traditionally, maḥaṭṭaẗ is a n.loc.f., coined on the maFʕaLaẗ pattern from the vb. ↗ḥaṭṭa ʻto put\set\take down’. The values [v1]–[v3] still have preserved more or less the literal meaning as *ʻplace where s.th. stops\is stopped, or is dropped’. In contrast, [v4] imitates the etymology and use of Engl\Fr station (< Lat statio ʻstanding, position, post’, akin to to stare stare ʻto stand’, from protIE *steti‑, suffixed form of root *sta‑ ʻto stand, make or be firm’) in the modern sense of ʻbroadcasting\radio station’ etc., see below, section DERIV.
