نبق

See also: نتق‎

Arabic

Etymology 1

The vowel variation suggests a borrowing; it appears Egyptian in respect of the significance of its term nbs (“Christ's thorn jujube”) and سَنْط‎ (sanṭ) and زَعْرُور‎ (zaʕrūr) being of this origin, despite the last consonant mismatch, which is perhaps caused by the addition of another Egyptian word. In Classical Syriac once ܢܒܟܐ‎ (nābəḵā) or ܢܒܩܐ‎ (nābəqā) equated by Bar Hebraeus with ܟܢܪܐ‎ (kənārā) and ܥܙܪܪܐ‎ (ʿazrārē).
