أذن الفأر

/ʔuðn al.faʔr/

Where it comes from

Literally “ear of the mouse”, calque of Ancient Greek μυοσωτίς (muosōtís, literally “mouse-ear”), probably via its calque Classical Syriac ܐܹܕܢܲܝ ܥܘ݂ܩܒܪ̈ܐ pl (ʾeḏnay ʿuqbǝrē, literally “mouse-ear”) which is also transmitted corruptly as an alleged **عَنْقَر (**ʕanqar), which should be corrected to عُقْبَر (ʕuqbar); pursuant to which this Arabic is also often posited in the plural.
