Etymology

edit

The meaning of “riving” is original, reconstructible for Proto-West Semitic, whence meanings of landforms have developed, then in Arabic specifically crevasses filled with water encountered by desert-dwellers. The meanings of vociferation are separate, paralleling نَقَّ (naqqa, to croak), نَعَقَ (naʕaqa, to caw, to bleat, to croak, to hoot), قَعْقَعَ (qaʕqaʕa, to clatter).
