Discussion
The meaning “to strike” given in older dictionaries was primarily derived from the use of this verb with the stroke-like illness mišittu, typically in figura etymologica. This usage in technical terminology does most likely not reflect the base meaning of the verb. All other attested uses support a meaning similar to masada (and massada) in Arabic.
Said of textiles, the word means “to full” (see Lassen 2010, 274).
