Etymology 1

[edit]

Compare Hebrew קִטֵּר (qiṭer), Hebrew קְטרֶת (qiṭret, incense), Aramaic קְטָר (qəṭār, incense), Aramaic עִטְרָן (ʿiṭerān, cedar resin, pitch), Classical Syriac ܥܶܛܪܳܢܳܐ (ʿeṭrānā, cedar resin, pitch), Classical Syriac ܥܰܛܪܳܢܳܐ (ʿaṭrānā, cedar resin, pitch), Classical Syriac ܥܶܛܪܳܐ (ʿeṭrā, pitch), Akkadian 𒇒 (/⁠iṭṭū⁠/, raw bitumen), further also Old Armenian խայտաղան (xaytałan), Middle Armenian խայծղան (xaycġan, a kind of pitch or resin). The historic mutual relations are conjectural; at least secondarily both قَطْر (qaṭr, syrup, drops, driblets) and عِطْر (ʕiṭr, essence, scented material) seem related, with the ending ـَان (-ān) more likely added in Aramaic, in spite of the combination of it with beginning قـ (q-) being unattested there; note also the Ethiopian Semitic shape ዕጣን (ʿəṭan, incense).
