It seems uncertain whether חֶדֶר, Ph. חדר chamber, Arabic خِدْرٌ curtain, chamber, tent, etc., are (ultimately) from this √ (as something surrounding); or (Buhl) from II. חדר = خَدِرَ ii. conceal behind curtain, conceal, confine, iv. conceal oneself, also abide, stay, remain behind (Lane 707 f.), Ethiopic ኀደረ abide, dwell (Dr, privately, Nov. 1905). v. also foll.)—only Pt. fs. הַחֹדֶ֫רֶת לָהֶם Ez 21:19 that which surroundeth them (of the sword),—so 𝔖 Thes Sm Co Da VB.
