Word origin
From the root ح ق ق (ḥ q q). Compare Hebrew חוק (ḥóqq, “law”), Classical Syriac ܚܘܩܐ (ḥuqqā, “rule”), Ge'ez ሐቀቀ (ḥäḳäḳä, “to fasten”), Tigrinya ሓቂ (ḥaqqi, “truth”). Perhaps related to حَجَّ (ḥajja, “to convince with legal arguments; to make the pilgrimage to Mecca”) and words corresponding to this root in the other Semitic languages.
