Etymology 2

Borrowed from Aramaic דּוֹחַן‎ (doḥan, “millet”), from Akkadian 𒌅𒄴𒉡 (/duḫnu; tuḫnu/, “millet”), ultimately from a variation of Proto-Semitic *ṭaḥan-/*ṭaḥaḥ- (“to grind, to pound, to crush, to break down into pieces; especially of corn”), found in طَحَّ‎ (ṭaḥḥa, “to scrape, to grate, to remove an outside surface, to make flakes or powder, to break down into pieces”). Doublet of طَحَنَ‎ (ṭaḥana, “to grind, to mill”) and cognate with Classical Syriac ܕܽܘܚܢܴܐ‎ (duḥnā, “millet”) and Hebrew דֹּחַן‎ (doḥan, “millet”). There is no direct connection to Proto-Indo-European *dʰoHnéh₂ although a distant relation has been suggested.
