طنب

Arabic

Etymology

Unknown. Maybe extended from طُنّ‎ (ṭunn, “bundle of reeds”), see there for other comparisons, maybe related with طُنُف‎ (ṭunuf), طُنْف‎ (ṭunf), طَنَف‎ (ṭanaf), طَنْف‎ (ṭanf, “overhang of a mountain or a building, cornice, eaves etc.”), which must be judged by the meanings of Ge'ez ጥንፍ (ṭənf, “prominence; cornice; cross-beam, joint between pillars etc.”).
