▪ Hava1899 still has the (denom.) vbs. II ^†haǧǧara ‘to be intensely hot (day)’; id., ^†ʔahǧara (IV), and ^†haǧǧara (V) ‘to journey in the middle of the day’; as well as the n. (nominalized adj.?) ^†haǧūrī ‘midday-meal’.

cogn

▪ DRS 5 (1995)#HGR-2 Ar haǧr, haǧīraẗ ‘milieu du jour, le plus fort de la chaleur’, HispAr hāžira ‘heure de la sieste’, Mhr hēgər ‘faire chaud à midi’, Jib hógər ‘midi’.

disc

▪ ClassAr lexicography constructs a relation between ‘midday heat’ and ↗haǧara ‘to depart, emigrate’, claiming that the former is dependent on the latter »because people [then] shelter themselves in their tents or houses, as though they forsook one another (tahāǧarū)« (Lane, quoting Qāmūs). But this looks very much as a late attempt at explaining, and unifying, semantic variety within the root.
▪ The word not only appears in the form hāǧiraẗ that looks like PA I f. (FāʕiL-aẗ-), but also as ^†haǧr, haǧīr and haǧīraẗ (the latter two displaying a quasi-PP I pattern (FaʕīL-aẗ-). DRS lists ^†haǧr and haǧīraẗ as the most original forms, but does not provide further explanation.
