صقر

• صَاقُور‎ (ṣāqūr), زَقْر‎ (zaqr)

• From the root ص ق ر‎ (ṣ-q-r) meaning "to rise high in elevation or temperature", "to boil or build up"; possibly derived onomatopoeically from a bird-of-prey's screeching cry or the screech of steam escaping. Related to Akkadian 𒁲 𒊑 (zaqāru, literally “to build high”); for more see ziggurat.
• Distantly related to Egyptian (zeker, “Sakar”) an important hawk-headed god of Saqqara, the main funerary site of the Ancient Egyptian capital Memphis. Itself being derived from varying etymologies; perhaps ultimately from a Proto-Afroasiatic root.

• IPA^(key): /sˤaqr/
