Jewish Theological Seminary Library has a manuscript of Sefer ha-Shem
Which the manuscript cataloger ascribed to Moses ben Shem Tov, de Leon,
Who died in 1305,

Joan,
The phrase “koaH gavra” is Aramaic, describing pouring water from each hand
onto the other for ritual rinsing.
The phrase “gavra raba,” for a great man, is also Aramaic. Here two idioms

From Even Shoshan and Alcalay, it appears miktsat is now a word and no longer
a prefix preposition plus a word.
Still, there may be records which the same 4 consonants ARE a preposition mem
plus the word ketsat. -- CBMiller
