▪ While [v3] is a var. of ʔuqqaẗ (prob. borrowed from Grk), [v1] and [v2] seem to belong to the complex of *‘digging, cutting into, engraving’ treated in DRS as #ḤQQ-1 (though not mentioned there).
▪ It is not clear which of the two values was first, [v1] or [v2], as ‘hollow, cavity’ could be a generalizing expansion of ‘socket of a joint’ or the latter a specialised use of the former.
▪ In any case, the notion of *‘hollow, cavity’ lies at the basis of some derived values, such as ‘small box, container, receptable’ (↗¹ḥuqqaẗ) or the obsol. ʻupper part of the arm’ (^†ḥuqq), cf. ^†[v7] in root entry ↗√ḤQ: (ḤQQ). Furthermore, this basic notion may be the etymon of the larger complex of *ʻsuitableness, correctness, accuracy, perfection, exactitude’, developed from it along the line *ʻhollow, cavity > to fit neatly\exactly into a hole\cavity, like a bone fits into the socket of a joint > to fit neatly, be suitable’. On this, many other values within the root ḤQː (ḤQQ) are dependent, or prob. dependent, such as the whole complex of ‘right, correct; fact(s), reality’ (↗ḥaqq) and ‘truth’ (↗ḥaqīqaẗ), but also obsol. items such as ^†ʻspider’s web’ (< *ʻaccurately\perfectly woven’), ^†ʻto strike s.o. on the back of the neck’ (perh. < *‘to hit s.o. properly, exactly where intended’, or ʻ… right in the middle of…’), ^†ʻmature, three years-old camel’ (< *ʻsuitable, having reached the right stage’), ^†ʻcalamity, resurrection’ (Qur’ānic value, < *ʻdecisive moment, inevitable hour’), or ^†ʻto be tightened (knot); to be slender (horse)’ (prob. < *ʻcorrect, right, as it should be’) – see root entry ↗√ ḤQː (ḤQQ).
