Number: 105
Proto-Semitic: *d_iḳan-
Meaning: (bearded) chin, beard
Akkadian: ziḳnu OA, OB on [CAD z 125], [AHw 1530]
Eblaitic: /d_aḳa/ūnum/ in SU6DÙ = ša-ga-núm, ša-gu-nu-um (cf. /tuztáḳḳinum/ KAxKID.SAR = tù-uš-tá-gi-nu/núm [DLU 135]
Ugaritic: dḳn 'barba, mentón' [DLU 135]
Phoenician: zḳn [T 95]
Hebrew: zāḳān 'side whiskers and (pointed) beard' [KB 278]
Aramaic: OLD zḳn [JH 339]
Judaic Aramaic: dǝḳan (diḳnā) 'bearded chin' [Ja 319], [Sok 154]
Syrian Aramaic: daḳnā [Brock 164]
Modern Aramaic: MAL d_eḳna 'Bart' [Berg 22] MLH deḳno 'Bart' [J Mlah 172] HRT daḳḳonta 'Kinn' [J Hert 185], daḳna 'Bart' [ibid.] NASS diḳna 'beard' [Tser 057] MMND deḳnā, abs. dāḳen [M MND 493] GZR díḳna 'beard' [Nak 72] AZR diḳna 'beard' [Garb 305]

Notes: Note AKK zuḳtu (and suḳtu usually quoted as a basic form) 'chin' OB on [CAD s 399], [AHw 1061] vs. ziḳnu 'beard'; one wonders whether these two terms, if related, may reflect an original opposition in pre-SEM: the form in *-at- meaning 'chin' (this is supported by the BERB example above), while the form with the *-an- suffix having acquired the meaning 'bearded chin, beard'. Cf. AFRASIAN above.
The meanings 'old (man)', 'to be old' are undoubtedly derived: HBR zāḳēn 'of mature age, old' [KB 278], ARM OLD zḳn 'to grow old' [JH 339], ARB d_iḳn- 'vieillard' [BK 1 775].
Possibly related, though with an unclear semantic evolution, are SAB d_ḳn, md_ḳn, md_ḳnt 'place of prayer in house or tomb; entrance hall, antechamber' [SD 39] and also b-d_ḳn 'in front of' [Biella 98].
