HaK-ey צמת + הכה [TM + HK]
ROOTS: TOMAHAWK, the Native American axe or hatchet, is
initially from Virginia Algonquian tamahaac. The weapon cut with a strike, so two elements are involved: beating and cutting.
The first, TM cutting
element, is seen in צמת TSaMa(S) , to cut, to destroy (II Samuel 22:41). See this
cutting root in Fernando Aedo’s table below.
The second, HK element, is seen in the imperative form (always the core-root) of NaKaH, to strike a blow . הכה HeeKaH, to “smite” (Genesis 32:9 Jerusalem
Bible/Koren, KJV). This recalls HACK1
To cut or chop with repeated and irregular blows” and tools like the
HACKSAW.
Designed dental-nasal opposites
of צמת TSaMa(S) or TSaMaT, cut off, include:
צמד TSeMeD, something put together [TEAM],
תם ToaM, whole,
and תמיד TaMeeYD, everlasting [TIME].
