[חָדַר] verb surround, enclose (Phoenician in derivatives; Arabic [untranscribed source text 1634] II. conceal, [untranscribed source text 1635] curtain concealing a person, chamber, house, or tent as concealing some one; Ethiopic [untranscribed source text 1636] dwell; see also following)

Phoenician is only חדר, חדרת (temple or sepulchral) chamber (Lzb²⁷¹ Cooke¹²⁶); Ezek 21:19 is best explained from Syriac [untranscribed source text 1637] go about, surround, Syriac around. It seems uncertain whether חֶדֶר, Phoenician חדר chamber, Arabic [untranscribed source text 1638] curtain, chamber, tent, etc., are (ultimately) from this √ (as something surrounding); or (Buhl) from II. חדר = [untranscribed source text 1639] II. conceal behind curtain, conceal, confine, IV. conceal oneself, also abide, stay, remain behind (Land^{707 f.}), Ethiopic [untranscribed source text 1640] abide, dwell (Driver, privately, Nov. 1905). — only
