disc

▪ [v2] is likely to be the primary sense, [v1] only secondary, cf. DISC under ↗DʔB.
▪ daʔb ‘habit’ probably derives from [v2] rather than from [v1].
▪ According to Nallino et al., a pl. ^†ʔādāb (< *ʔaʔdāb < *ʔadʔāb) served as basis for the (back-) formation of the sg. ↗ʔadab so that the notion of ‘habit, custom’ was added to the primary value of ↗ʔDB in Sem, which is ‘to invite’.
