✎Notes & Bibliography▶

There is a large amount of confusion in the sources between adjectival and nominal forms of this root and the vocalizations thereof. If there actually is a difference in meaning, here we take this word to refer to an individual's thirst, while the substantivized adjective refers to a general thirst in a time of distress.
