ַמהֲתַלּוֺת see תלל.

In origin מוֺ is identical with מָה what, Arabic , which is used similarly, pleonastically, with certain prefixes, e.g. , , . See Qor 3:153; 71:25; Fl^{Kl. Schr. i. 473f., 479,558}; W^{AG ii. § 70, Rem. f; SG 126f.}; Kö^{ii. 250f.}; and compare Ethiopic , Syriac , Sabean בנמו = , DHM^{ZDMG 1883,396f.}, Hom^{Chrest. § 18}.

(b) followed by a finite verb, either with or without the copula, to do any thing quickly, where, in the western languages, the adverb quickly, speedily, would be used, 1 Samuel 17:48; Genesis 19:22, מַהֵר הִמָּלֵט “make haste, escape,” i.q. escape quickly, followed by an infinitive or gerund, Exodus 10:16; Genesis 27:20, מַה־זֶּה מִהַרְתָּ לִמְצאֹ “how then hast thou found it so quickly?” Exodus 2:18. מַהֵר adv. quickly, Judges 2:17, 23 Judges 2:23; Psalms 79:8.
