watering trough – WehrCowan1979.
conc
It seems that the original meaning is *‘place where water (etc.) collects’, flowing together and “meeting” in some vessel. Should this be correct, then the word belongs to other items treated under ↗√QRY, not ↗√QRW (where it is usually grouped). Thus, it may be akin to ‘hospitality’ (↗qarà) and ‘village, town’ (↗qaryaẗ).

▪ The main/original values of √QRW under which the word usually is grouped seem to be ↗[QRW_3] ‘to approach s.o.; to betake o.s., wend o.’s way, turn to’ and ↗[QRW_4] ‘back’ (n.). qarw ‘watering trough’ does not seem to belong to any of these two.
▪ In ClassAr, the word also means (inter al.) ‘aquae receptaculum longum, ad quod cameli veniunt (e quo pulli potantur) / abreuvoir, bassin / water vessel for the camel foals; via s[ive] canalis, per quem succus uvarum expressus effluit e torculare / tuyau ou conduit par lequel s’écoule le suc du raisin exprimé dans le pressoir; inferior pars palmae quae perforatur, ut in ea vinum paretur / tronc de palmier creusé dans lequel on fait du vin; espèce d’ auge faite d’un tronc de palmier; crater potui inserviens / vase h boire, coupe; poculum, […] vas parvum; magnitudo scrotorum ob ventum aliave de causa (hernia) / gonflement du scrotum / hydrocele, rupture of the testicles’; 1 All of these have the notion of water (juice, etc.) collecting, i.e., flowing together and “meeting”, in some place. Should this be correct, then the word belongs to what is treated under ↗√QRY, not ↗√QRW.
▪ If belonging to √QRY, which with all likelihood is from a WSem *QR(Y) ‘to meet’, then qarw is probably akin to ‘hospitality’ (↗qarà) and ‘village, town’ (↗qaryaẗ).
▪ The vb. ↗qarà, i, ‘to receive hospitably, treat as a guest’ may even be denominative from qarw in the meaning of ‘drinking bowl, pot’.
