אָשַׁף an unused root. Syr. ܐܶܫܰܦ to use incantation. Jo. Simonis places the primary power in the idea of covering, hiding, and laying up, whence comes the Syr. to use enchantment, pr. to use hidden arts; compare לָאַט and לוּט, also אַשְׁפָּה a quiver, so called from the idea of hiding. In the signification of using enchantment, it is cognate to כָּשַׁף.
