Notes: The reconstructed vocalic pattern is based on AKK, HBR, ARM and rather supported than not by MSA *naḫrīr-; cf., however, -u- in ARB nuḫ(a)r-at- and JUD nḥwr.

    Cf. a related verbal root *nḫr 'to snore': AKK naḫāru SB [CAD n1 128], [AHw 713]; GEZ nǝḫra [LGz 396] (cf. also TGR näharä 'to grow angry' [LH 323], TNA näharä 'infuriarsi' [Bass 438], with a tenable meaning shift but irregular -h-).

    Note a likely related AKK nāḫiru 'whale' [CAD n1 137], with an underlying meaning 'snorer' or 'spouter', and UGR nḫr 'Meerstier, etwa Delphin' [Aist 205] (also related or possibly borrowed from AKK).
