▪ DRS: cf. ↗√ḤMS and ↗√ḤMŠ (and, more distantly, ↗√ḤMR, ↗√ḤMW and other roots based on *ʻheat’, cf. ↗√ḤMː/ḤMM). – DRS also asks: akin to ↗ḥimmiṣ ʻchick-pea’? But the authors remain silent about the exact nature of the relation they find conceivable: ʻchick-pea’ as *‘the roasted one’? – Or should we assume that both, ʻchick-pea’ and ‘roasting’, share the notion of *‘shrinking, shrivelling’ (see [v4] in root entry ↗√ḤMṢ), a chick-pea’s surface being as shrivelled as meat when roasted? The fact that ḥammaṣa is a form II and therefore might be a causative formation would allow for an interpretation of ‘roasting’ as *‘to make shrink/shrivel’.

▪ Given the lack of clarity as to which notions of the root may be related to others, we reproduce the full DRS entry here, rendering the values that do not show an obvious connection with characters of reduced size:
▪ DRS 9 (2010) #ḤMṢ(Ṣ)-1 Akk emēṣu ‘avoir faim’, Ar ḥamaṣa ‘désenfler (plaie)’, taḥammaṣa ‘se ratatiner (viande se desséchant)’, ĭnḥamasa ‘se contracter, maigrir’. -2 Hbr ḥāmūṣ ‘écarlate’. -3 Syr ḥemṣe, SyrAr ḥimmiṣ ‘pois chiches’. -4 Mhr ḥəmūṣ ‘dépouiller à la main un chevreau’, məḥmīṣ ‘peau de chevreau’, Ḥrs mḥəmīṣ, Jib maḥmíṣ ‘peau de petit animal’. -5 Ar ḥamaṣīṣ, ḥammaṣīs: plante des sables aigre. -6 ḥammaṣa ‘griller, torréfier’. -7 ʔaḥmaṣᵘ ‘voleur de petit bétail’. -8 Soq ḥamṣīṣoh ‘testicule’.
