Afroasiatic etymology: Afroasiatic etymology

Meaning: thigh, leg

Akkadian: sīḳu 'lap, thigh' MA on [AHw 1049], [CAD s 305]; sāḳu 'Oberschenkel' SB (LL) [AHw 1028], 'a part of the body' OA (?), SB [CAD s 169]

Ugaritic: šḳ 'thigh' [Gordon 488].

In: wʔin šḳ ymn 'there is no right leg'; a dual šḳym is also quoted in [KB deutsch 1344]

Hebrew: šōḳ 'Schenkel, Wadenbein' [KB deutsch 1344]

Biblical Aramaic: šāḳṓhī (du. suff.) 'Schenkel' [KB deutsch 1795]

Judaic Aramaic: šāḳā, šaḳḳā, šōḳā 'joint, leg, foreleg' [Ja 1620]; [Sok 564]

Syrian Aramaic: šāḳā 'femur, crus' [Brock 765]

Modern Aramaic: MLH čoḳo 'Bein, Unterschenkel, Fuss' (auch als Masseinheit) [J Mlah 171] MMND šāḳa 'leg' [M MND 509]

Mandaic Aramaic: šaḳa 'limb, leg, shin' [DM 445]

Arabic: sāḳ- 'jambe, tibia' [BK 1 1167]

Modern Arabic: Malt siʔ <*siḳ "foot'

Tigre: sǝḳuḳa 'forearm, lower part of the leg' [LH 182].

Note difference in vocalic pattern (<*suḳuḳ- <*saḳuḳ- ?)

Notes: Note unexpected s- instead of *š- in AKK (and -i- vs. -ā- in HBR, ARM and ARB).

Cf. SOQ ʕišḳah d'īdi 'main à partir du poignet, ʕišḳah di-ŝabh 'cheville' et al. [SSL LS 1453]; probably related with a secondary ʕ- attached as a triconsonantizer. Another explanation is that the quoted terms are the same as ʕešḳeh 'branche (de palmier), épi' [LS 330] (cf. ARB ʕasaḳ- 'branche sèche et qui n'est plus bonne à rien; Mimosa fruticosa' [BK 2 254]) and the word-combinations quoted literally mean 'branch of the hand'/'branch of the foot' and, therefore, are not to be compared.

[Fron 49] (*šāḳ- 'coscia' /TGR,ARB,HBR,SYR,AKK/); [Holma 134]: AKK, HBR, SYR, ARB; [KB deutsch 1344]: HBR, ARM, UGR, AKK, ARB (šāḳ, most probably an error for sāḳ-), TGR (šǝḳoḳa, misquoting [Leslau Contributions 53] where the form is quoted as sǝḳoḳa); [Brock 765]: SYR, ARM, ARB, HBR, AKK
