etymology
The Soqotri verb comes close to Mhr. ḥeḏūr ‘to build a thatched pen’, Jib. ḥɔ́ḏɔ́r ‘to build a thatched pen’. Their further etymology is uncertain. If related to Arb. ḥḏr ‘to be cautious, on guard’, the original meaning would be ‘to make precautions (to prevent livestock from climbing the walls)’. It remains to be clarified whether ḥódir is diacrhonically related to ḥédor ‘to build’, ḥóder ‘house’, eventually also ḥáder ‘small cave’.
