قنة¹
Where it comes from
From the root ق ن ي (q n y) related to acquiring, for the gum acquired. But rather so formed in Ge'ez where the same root exists and a broader meaning in ቀንአት (ḳännəʾät), ቅንአት (ḳənnəʾät), ቀንዓት (ḳännəʿat, “galbanum; stacta”), which to derive vice versa from Arabic is formally dubious. Possibly a phono-semantic matching of Ancient Greek κόμμι (kómmi) or in Ethiopia directly its Egyptian etymon or the Aramaic descendant.
noun قِنَّة · qinna · الْقِنَّة · قِنَّةٌ
