etymology

With Leslau (LS 124), likely represents PS *dwr ‘to turn’, which came to mean ‘to stay, to dwell, to leave’ in a number of other WS languages – but not in continental MSA, cf. Mhr. dōr ‘to wander around’, Jib. dɛ̄r ‘to wander around’. If this etymology is correct, this is a clear-cut example of a “hollow” root (a type otherwise practically extinct in Soqotri) secondarily adopted to the morphological pattern of a Iw root in the causative stem.

continental MSA
  • Mhr. dōr to wander around
  • Jib. dɛ̄r to wander around
