Cf. AFRASIAN above.
The meanings 'old (man)', 'to be old' are undoubtedly derived: HBR zāḳēn 'of mature age, old' [KB 278], ARM OLD zḳn 'to grow old' [JH 339], ARB d_iḳn- 'vieillard' [BK 1 775].
Possibly related, though with an unclear semantic evolution, are SAB d_ḳn, md_ḳn, md_ḳnt 'place of prayer in house or tomb; entrance hall, antechamber' [SD 39] and also b-d_ḳn 'in front of' [Biella 98].
