حق

From the root ح ق ق‎ (ḥ-q-q). Compare Hebrew חוק‎ (ḥóqq, “law”), Classical Syriac ܚܘܩܐ‎ (ḥuqqā, “rule”) Ge'ez ሐቀቀ (ḥäḳäḳä, “to fasten”), Tigrinya ሓቂ (ḥaqqi, “truth”). Perhaps related to حَجَّ‎ (ḥajja, “to convince with legal arguments; to make the pilgrimage to Mecca”) and words corresponding to this root in the other Semitic languages.
