Etymology 2

Compare Arabic حَسَبَ‎ (ḥasaba, “to calculate, to count”), Hebrew חָשַׁב‎ (ḥāšaḇ, “to think”), and Classical Syriac ܚܫܒ‎ (“to think, to count, to calculate”). Alternatively identical in origin to the above word (‘to break apart’, etc.) by metaphorical extension; see the usage note below.

Verb
HsbZ9
Y1

 3-lit.

  1. (transitive or rarely intransitive) to determine the number of (something); to count or calculate, to reckon
  2. (transitive) to enumerate, to count out in series
  3. (transitive) to reckon with or settle up with (an offender) by inflicting punishment; to get even with, to exact merited retribution on
  4. (transitive) to pay back or punish (an evil deed)
  5. (transitive, usually negated) to value, to care something for, to esteem (something)
Usage notes

It has been hypothesized that the calculation operations represented by ḥsb are distinct from those represented by jp in that ḥsb prototypically expresses reckoning by means of repeatedly breaking into halves, while jp prototypically expresses reckoning by means of counting operations.[1]
