ماجور

/maː.d͡ʒuːr/
/maɡuːr/

Where it comes from

Generally believed to be of Coptic origin, however the exact word is omitted. One option is *ⲙⲁϫⲱⲣ (*majōr) from ⲙⲁ- (ma-, “place”) + ϫⲱⲣ (jōr, “to scatter”), another ⲙⲁⲕⲣⲟ (makro, “trough, mortar”) to which colloquial Egyptian Arabic could have applied the tool-pattern as in كَالُون (kālūn). However the Tractate Kelim attests מגור to mean a stand in which fire was held in the hearth, comparable to earlier Biblical Hebrew מְגוּרָה (məḡūrā) meaning a place of living, barn or storehouse, from the root ג־ו־ר (g-w-r), the root of جَار (jār, “neighbour”), which itself we have charged to be an Aramaic loanword.
