سمحاق
Arabic
Etymology
Uncertain, perhaps representing the Proto-Semitic causative prefix ša- prepended to the root م ح ق (m-ḥ-q) related to erasure as it is the outer layer of a bone just below the skin and mechanically attrited for bones to be used, however it must be a Southern dialectal term in origin since that prefix is almost everywhere ʾa- or at least ha- in Arabic (while Modern South Arabian preserves this ša-, albeit with the sound /ʃ/).
