صقر

/sˤaqr/

Where it comes from

Uncertain with possible connections:

* The root ص ق ر (ṣ q r) meaning "to rise high in elevation or temperature", "to boil or build up"; possibly derived onomatopoeically from a bird-of-prey's screeching cry or the screech of steam escaping. Related to Akkadian 𒁲 𒊑 (zaqāru, literally “to build high”); for more see ziggurat.

* Distantly related to Egyptian z:k:r-A40 (zkr, “Sakar”) an important hawk-headed god of Saqqara, the main funerary site of the Ancient Egyptian capital Memphis. Itself being derived from varying etymologies; perhaps ultimately from a Proto-Afroasiatic root.
