▪ The root ↗√ḤMŠ exhibits 3-4 distinct values between which no obvious relation is discernible (apart from ʻto excite, irritate, infuriate, enrage; to roast, fry’ there is also ʻthin, thin-legged’ (see ↗ḥamšaẗ ʻcatgut’), ʻto collect’, and – prob. via metathesis from ↗ŠḤM – also ʻfat’. With the first three, the root does not seem to have any cognates in Sem.
▪ The etymology of ḥamaša therefore has to remain unclear. Perh., however , the word is related to ↗√ḤMS and/or ↗√ḤMṢ in the sense of ʻto roast, fry’.
