Etymology

[edit]

Likely extended from a biconsonantal root surfacing in Arabic as ب ق ق (b-q-q), note فَقَعَ (faqaʕa) in variation with فَقَأَ (faqaʔa) from an even more famous biliteral root ف ق ق (f-q-q); juxtaposed with a more minute kind of splicing – with a second-position plosive articulated by the smaller opening of the mouth – Proto-West Semitic *patat- (to make disintegrate, to cut piecemeal) (ف ت ت (f-t-t)) whence *pataw-.

Root

[edit]
