مرخ

See also: مزح, مرچ, مرج, and مرح

Arabic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From the root م ر خ (m-r-ḵ). Apparently all the words in this root are related to the plant name, also existing in Akkadian 𒎌 (MEŠ /⁠miḫru⁠/, “a fir tree”, “possibly Juniperus excelsa”), Ugaritic 𐎎𐎃𐎗 (mḫr, “a conifer”, only retained in a place-name), Persian (marx), Armenian / Middle Armenian մարխ (marx), մախր (maxr), and potentially the plant name is from Hurrian 𒈠𒄴𒊑 (ma-aḫ-ri /⁠māḫri⁠/, “juniper”). Compare also Egyptian mrḥt (“anointing oil; castor oil”), from which Egyptian mrḥ (“to anoint”), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic מְרַח (mraḥ, “to smooth, to finish”), Hebrew מָרַח (māraḥ, “to smear, to rub on, to spread”), Akkadian 𒈠𒊏𒆪 (/⁠marāqu⁠/, “to grind into a powder or crush into a paste; to rub on”), Shehri míreḵ (“to smear”), Arabic مَرَعَ (maraʕa, “to anoint; to currycomb; to abound in herbage”), Aramaic מָרַק (māraq, “to scour, to polish, to rub off”), Hebrew מָרַק (māraq, “to scour, to polish”), Mehri amárqəḥ (“to clear, to wipe”). For another example where a root is from a plant name regard رِمْث (rimṯ) but in this case there may be a contamination of the plant name with a genuine root related to anointing.

Verb[edit]

مَرَخَ • (maraḵa) I, non-past يَمْرَخُ‎ (yamraḵu)
