خن

See also: جن‎

Arabic

Etymology 1

From Chinese 限 (MC ɦˠɛn^X, “line, boundary”), considering also that, inversely, مُل‎ (mul, “coastline”) is from a Dravidian term for an “angle or point of compass”. Perhaps later understood as related to خَان‎ (ḵān), خَانَة‎ (ḵāna, “space into which something is fitted”).

Noun

خَنّ • (ḵann) m (plural أَخْنَان‎ (ʔaḵnān))

(navigation) rhumb of the compass, a ¹⁄₃₂ angular measure
