قطف

/qa.tˤa.fa/

Where it comes from

Inherited from Proto-Semitic *qaṭap-. Compare Aramaic קְטַף / ܩܛܲܦ (qṭap̄), Hebrew קָטַף (qāṭáp̄), Akkadian 𒋡𒋫𒁍 (qa-ta-pu /⁠qatāpu⁠/). The saltbush name must be from Classical Syriac ܩܲܛܦܵܐ (qaṭəp̄ā), ܩܛܵܦܵܐ (qəṭāp̄ā, “saltbush”), for it mirrors its vocalization.
