Notes: Scarcely attested in ARB and MSA only. Less likely an ARB loan in MSA in view of some meaning differences; cf. also a developed series of derived verbal forms in MSA, such as JIB ḳɔ́rɔ́d 'to catch, cut so's throat', ḳɔ́trǝd 'to be strangled; to have a sore throat' [JJ 148].
Cf. *gar(i)d-, No.
