Brönnle, P., Cairo, 1911, p. 75Google Scholar) points out rightly that taḥannuth means the abandoning of evil, and that the fifth form of the verb often has the meaning of abandoning or discarding something; e.g. ta'aththama.

^{page 2 note 3} At this stage of our knowledge of Semitic sibilants I regard the question as to what was the ‘ original ’ form as of little or no importance. In Iraq Fahūja is known to the local inhabitants as Thalūja. That one believes to be wrong; but one does not know which form of an unknown root containing now F and now TH was first spoken by the hypothetical primitive Semite whom those most deeply concerned claim to have been Adam.

^{page 4 note 2} Here there is complete correspondence in both meanings.

^{page 4 note 3} The connexion is forced and far-fetched in BDB. See Ibn al-Sikkīt's list for the interchange of F and TH in this root.
