<p>The question is: do we need to postulate a singular
Gesamtbedeutung<br>
(and does that even help)? Or would a family relation approach be
more helpful?<br>

lang="EN-GB">I am trying to understand the semantic
derivation of a common Akkadian verb, <i>sanāqu</i>.
It means, in particular ‘to arrive, approach’ (the
only intransitive meaning), ‘to bother, pester,
interrogate, put pressure’, ‘to mobilize, levy’, ‘to
weigh’, ‘to check, audit’, ‘to settle (a legal case)’,
‘to take (oath)’, ‘to keep, guard’, ‘to close, shut
(doors)’. What could be a “primary” meaning of such a
verb, and the path of semantic derivation? How does it
look like from viewpoint of lexical typology?</span><span
