Reconstruction:Proto-Semitic/raḥat-

Etymology
Presumably from only maintained by descendants of 🇨🇬.

Noun

 * 1) palm of the hand; perhaps also sole of the foot

Usage notes
It is probable that there was a distinction between *kapp- and *raḥat-: if it was that one denotes the inner side of the hand with the fingers and thumb and the other without it is difficult to decide which is which. Likely it was the *kapp- tendentially meant the cupped inner of the hand while *raḥat- meant the flat hand: this picture reflects in the tool names secondarily derived from the words.
