Arabic[edit]

حصْرم

Etymology[edit]

By surface augmented from the root ح ص ر (ḥ-ṣ-r) to striction. But compare also Hebrew חַרְצָן (ḥarṣā́n) now used in the sense of a pip of a grape but read preferredly[1][2][3] in the Book of Numbers 6:4 as referring to unripe grapes for verjuice – although that is already what בֹּסֶר (boser), the cognate of Arabic بُسْر (busr, unripe dates), means –, connected then to the root ح ر ص (ḥ-r-ṣ) related to abrasion because of it being sharp on the tongue, as well as Hebrew חָרִיץ (ḥārīṣ, cheese; slit, furrow).
