How to say "status, standing" in Arabic

Arabic's root ن-ز-ل, "to descend, alight, come down and settle," is a genuine match for Hebrew's own נ-ז-ל — though Hebrew kept the literal picture (נָזַל, "to flow, trickle down," as in Song of Songs' streams) while Arabic followed the traveler: someone who نَزَلَ, "got down and lodged," gave their stopping-place its name, مَنزِل manzil, "house," and then مَنزِلة manzila, "the standing one has settled into." It's tempting to connect this family to Hebrew's own word for luck, מזל — especially since مَنَازِل manāzil, the plural, names the 28 lunar "mansions" the moon visits each month, the very houses ancient astrologers watched to read a fortune. But that particular link doesn't hold up: Klein traces מזל to a different Akkadian word, manzaltu, itself built on a root meaning "to stand" (not "to flow") — a coincidence of spelling, not a shared root. What is genuinely shared across the two languages is the habit of thought, not the word: reading a person's fate from where a star "stands." (This isn't Arabic's everyday word for luck, either — that's حَظّ ḥaẓẓ, just below, and it stands apart from both families.)
