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.”).

Noun

طَنَب • (ṭanab) m

(Yemen) Cordia africana
Hypernym: سِبِسْتَان (sibistān)
