Notes

LGz. 521 sets swṭ II apart from swṭ III 'flagellate' (K0540) and asks whether it is swṭ I 'pour > add'. Lane 1466 sets 'he whipped him' apart from 'he mixed it' in the same article; the native lexicographers' 'whip, so called because it mixes the flesh with the blood' (Lane 1467) is folk etymology.
