government – WehrCowan1979.
conc
▪ ḥukūmaẗ is formed from ↗ḥakama ʻto govern’, which in itself seems to be based on the notion of ‘retaining, keeping tight control of s.th., fencing, curbing’, still present in ↗ḥakamaẗ ‘bit of a horse’s bridle; martingale’ or the meaning ‘to bridle, check, curb’, nowadays rather marginal, of ḥakama; the prob. earlier value is reflected also in ʔaḥkama, vb. IV, ‘to make firm, sturdy, solid; to strengthen, consolidate; to fortify; to do well, do expertly, master, be proficient’. – For further details cf. the entries just mentioned as well as root entry ↗√ḤKM.
