ملك

From Proto-Semitic *malk-. The insertion of the vowel i is irregular, leading, though it could be a prop vowel as in إِبِل‎ (ʔibil), to the suggestion that it is instead borrowed from an archaic Aramaic predecessor to Aramaic מַלְכָּא‎ (malkā, “king”), along with the clear borrowing مَلَكُوت‎ (malakūt).
