𐤄/𐤒𐤓𐤕
qârâh
that had happened
To encounter, meet, or befall—especially in the sense of coming across something or someone by chance or accident (not as a deliberate or expected act). This verbal root also develops specialized senses such as 'to happen' (especially an event happening to someone), and in a causative stem, 'to bring about', 'to cause to happen', or, in a specific construction, 'to lay timbers' (for roofing or flooring). The baseline meaning involves the coincidence of events or meeting, whether orchestrated or by happenstance.
