בוקר

Hebrew

Root
ב־ק־ר (b-q-r)

Etymology 1

From the root ב־ק־ר (b-q-r), which appears only in piʿel: בִּקֵּר (“[he] inspected”). Compare its semantics with that of Arabic طَلَعَ (ṭalaʕa, “[a heavenly body] has risen; [a spadix of a palm-tree] has burst out of its spathe”) whose corresponding form-III verb is طَالَعَ (ṭālaʕa, “[he] inspected”).
