hist

▪ eC7 ḥalla i (to become deserved, inevitable; to fall upon) Q 20:86 ʔa-fa-ṭāla ʕalaykum-u ’l-ʕahdu ʔam ʔaradtum ʔan yaḥilla ʕalaykum ġaḍabun min rabbikum fa-ʔaḫlaftum mawʕidī ‘did my presence amongst you become a distant memory to you? (or: was my being away too long for you?) or did you desire that anger from God befall you, so you broke your promise to me?’ – ḥalla u (to alight, ascend) Q 13:31 wa-lā yazālu ’llaḏīna kafarū tuṣībuhum bi-mā ṣanaʕū qāriʕatun ʔaw taḥullu qarīban min dārihim ‘as for those who disbelieve, desaster will not cease to strike them, or fall close to their homes, because of what they do’.

cogn

▪ DRS 9 (2010)#ḤLL-3: Ar ḥalla ‘prendre place’, ḥillaẗ ‘séjour, quartier’, maḥall(aẗ) ‘halte, campement; lieu, place’, Tham ḥll ‘camper’, Sab ḥll ‘camper’, Mhr Ḥars ḥəl, Jib ḥell ‘s’établir, demeurer’, Ḥars məḥél ‘endroit’, Jib ḥallɛ́t ‘ville’, Śḥr añḥall ‘lieu, place’, añḥallet ‘demeure, chambre’, Soq tḥalol ‘séjourner’, ? Jib oḥól ‘virevolter, aller de place en place’; Gz ḥalala ‘être rassemblé, entrer’.
▪ Since this value probably depends on that of ‘to untie, loosen’, cf. also the cognates given for ↗ḤLː (ḤLL)_1-3. In the same vain, Zammit2002 puts together Akk elēlu ‘rein sein, werden; frei sein’, Ug ḥl(l) ‘lösen (vom Bann)’, Hbr ḥālal (Hif.) ‘to begin’ (lit. ‘untie, loosen, open’), Aram ḥᵃlal ‘to wash, rinse; to degrade, profane’, Syr ḥalel ‘to purify’, Ar ḥalla ‘to untie (a knot); to be lawful; alight, settle in a place’, SAr ḥll ‘to encamp; to be unprotected (against)’, Gz ḥalala ‘to be gathered, come in’.

disc

▪ DRS puts a question mark before listing the value ‘to stop, rest, settle down’ as belonging to ḤLL. But the authors seem to agree with Palache who derives the item from a primary meaning of *‘to untie, open, release, purify’, which is still present in ↗ḥalla (ḥall, ḥill); for the whole picture, cf. ↗ḤLː (ḤLL). Thus, ‘to stop, rest, settle down’ (and hence ‘place where one stops, etc.’, n.loc.) is probably, literally, ‘to unsaddle, put down (o.’s luggage), unload, alight’.
