أنوق

Arabic

Etymology

Unknown. Maybe from the root ء ن ق (ʔ-n-q), maybe natively from نَاقَة (nāqa, “female camel”) or via a lost Aramaic term as in struthiocamelus (“ostrich”), but this is less likely since old dictionaries understand the word as ذَكَر الرَّخَم (ḏakar al-rraḵam, “male of the Egyptian vulture”), maybe from ع ن ق (ʕ-n-q) as in another name of a long-necked bird عَنْقَاء (ʕanqāʔ), the form of a color or defect adjective, compared to Aramaic אִינְקָא (ʾinqā) for a large bird, however regularly compared to Ge'ez አንቄ (ʾänḳe), አንቄት (ʾänḳet), maybe a borrowing from a regional form of it, since in Ethiopian Semitic the Proto-Semitic pattern KaLīM shifted to KaLūM.
