AB Representing the senses of the verbal root ḥzḳ as a list or, as many existing lexicons do, in terms of root formations, does not do justice to the polysemy of this verbal root. Basic insights from cognitive semantics — many of which can be linked up with the 'common sense' wisdom of traditional historical-philological semantics — are used to argue that the extensions of the senses of ḥzḳ tend to cluster around three prototypes, two of which represent a mapping from concrete to abstract, and one the conventionalization of a formal pattern. Each of the three prototypes generates its own concrete to figurative mappings and conceptual blends.
