ذ ر ق

Because of the narrow meaning and the variation of most forms with ز ر ق (z-r-q), potentially borrowed from Aramaic זְרַק (zəraq, “to throw, to disperse, to scatter”), related to Akkadian 𒍝𒊏𒄣 (zarāqum, “to scatter specifically liquids, to sprinkle”).^[1] Jewish Literary Aramaic דרק (daraq, “to toss up, to sprinkle forth”) however, if not a hyper-correction, suggests potentially a Proto-Semitic *ḏaraq- (“to disperse or toss forth a liquid”) form.
