catgut (med.) – WehrCowan1976.
conc
▪ The root ↗√ḤMŠ exhibits 3-4 distinct values between which no obvious relation is discernible: ʻto excite, irritate, infuriate, enrage; to roast, fry’ (see ↗ḥamaša), ʻ(to be) thin, thin-legged’, ʻto collect’, and – prob. via metathesis from ↗ŠḤM – also ʻfat’. For the first three, the root does not seem to have any Sem cognates.
▪ The value ʻcatgut (med.)’ is prob. based on the obsolete notion of *ʻthin (shank), thin-legged’ (see below, section HIST).
