Also kuzzubu ‘luxuriant, full of charm’ (CAD K 614, 617), kuzzubu ‘to fawn, to flatter’ (CAD K 614, 617). There is an intriguing possibility to connect with PCS *kḏb 'to lie', but hypothetical semantic shifts underlying this comparison are hard to establish (rejected in Driver 1953:33). Though, note comparison in the Bible, Pr 31:30: šäḳär ha-ḥēn wə-häbäl ha-yyōpī ‘Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain’ (Kogan 2015:192).
Cf. Ugr. ḳbˀ ‘to summon, to invoke’ (Kogan 2015: 337)
