ܨܒܥܬܐ
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic
ܨܒܥܬܐ
Etymology
Ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ʔiṣbaʕ-, this form being a back-formation from the plural ܨܸܒ̈ܥܵܬ݂ܵܐ (ṣibˁāṯā), a similar form also occurring in Classical Syriac ܨܸܒ݂ܥܬ݂ܵܐ (ṣeḇʿṯā), which was likewise a variant developed from ܨܸܒ݂ܥܵܬ݂ܵܐ (ṣeḇʿāṯā), the plural-formation of Classical Syriac ܨܸܒ݂ܥܵܐ (ṣeḇʿā). Ultimately from a variant of Aramaic צבעא (sˤɛbʕā) or Aramaic אֶצְבְּעָא (ʾeṣbəʿā); compare also Turoyo ܨܰܘܥܐ (ṣawco), Arabic إِصْبَع (ʔiṣbaʕ) and Hebrew אֶצְבַּע (ʾeṣbaʿ).
