▪ Originally probably a caus. (‘to make/cause s.o. to…’) from vb. I, now obsolete, ^†ʕaṭā ‘to raise o.’s head and hands to take s.th.’, see ↗ʕṬW.
▪ In some Ar dialects, the notion of ‘giving’ is expressed by verbs like EgAr ʔidda that some scholars consider to have developed from Ar ʕṬW while others think they are from, or akin to, Sem *NTN~YTN (if not Copt, in the case of EgAr ʔidda). For this discussion, see "DISC" in ↗ʕṬW.

hist

▪ lC6 Many attestations in pre-Islamic poetry (Polosin1995).
