Arabic
Etymology
Recalls ه د ج (h-d-j) where هَدَجَ (hadaja, “to walk in a trembling fashion”) (considering that one does that when carrying heavy loads, as well as when one has eaten colocynths: حَظِلَ (ḥaẓila) related to حَنْظَل (ḥanẓal, “colocynth”) means exactly walking lamely especially after having eaten colocynths) and هَوْدَج (hawdaj, “litter for carrying”). Seemingly just extended from د ج ج (d-j-j) where دَجَّ (dajja, “to walk along gently”), though parallelled by Ugaritic 𐎈𐎄𐎂 (ḥdg, “litter or chair for a woman”). According to Dillmann Ge'ez አድግ (ʾädg, “ass, donkey”) also belongs here.
