قت

See also: فت

Arabic

Etymology 1

It seems to be onomatopoeic, with قَدَّ (qadda), قَطَّ (qaṭṭa), *كَتَّ (*katta), جَدَّ (jadda) → Proto-Semitic *gadd-, being variations of it, though which came first is uncertain.

Also قـ (q-) in bi-roots seems to posses the onomatopoeic meaning of breaking and cutting→reducing, especially with coronal consonants, considering قَسَّ (qassa), قَصَّ (qaṣṣa), قَلَّ (qalla), قَثَّ (qaṯṯa), قَذَّ (qaḏḏa), قَضَّ (qaḍḍa), though they have slight nuances of how the cut is like.

And to lesser extent, كـ (k-) and جـ (j-) → Proto-Semitic *g-, also posses the same meaning in كَسَّ (kassa), جَذَّ (jaḏḏa), جَزَّ (jazza), جَثَّ (jaṯṯa), جَدَّ (jadda), but considering their small number, perhaps they came from their ق (q) equivalent.

Etymology 2

From the family above due to its being cut in dry strips, like قُرْط (qurṭ, “Egyptian clover”) from قَرَطَ (qaraṭa, “to chop”), apparently in occasional distinction from رَطْبَة (raṭba, “alfalfa”) as of alfalfa in a wet (رَطْب (raṭb)) state, in spite of Bos and Käs declaring the word to come apparently from Persian (qot), which is rare and listed by Vullers as itself from Arabic. Note that قَتَاد (qatād, “milkvetch”) is also a faboid.

Noun

قَتّ • (qatt) m

lucerne (various Medicago spp.)
Synonyms: فِصْفِص (fiṣfiṣ), رَطْبَة (raṭba), بِرْسِيم حِجَازِيّ (birsīm ḥijāziyy)
- 1025, ابن سينا [Avicenna], القانون في الطب [Canon Medicinae]:
  قت: الماهية: هو الأسفست أي الرطبة وهو علف الدواب.

  قتّ، قال أبو حنيفة: هو جفيف القضب، والقتّ هو الفصفصة، وقد ذكرنا الفصفصة في حرف الفاء وقلنا هناك إنّه يقال لها بالعجمية يربة دموله ومعناه عُشْبة البغلة.
  Lucerne. Abū Ḥanīfa equates it with dry قَضْب (qaḍb). It is فِصْفِصَة (fiṣfiṣa). We have just noted فِصْفِصَة (fiṣfiṣa) under the letter f. There we said that it is called in Romance yerba de mula which means she-mule herb.
