نبق

Where it comes from

The vowel variation suggests a borrowing; it appears Egyptian in respect of the significance of its term nbs (“Christ's thorn jujube”) and سَنْط (sanṭ) and زَعْرُور (zaʕrūr) being of this origin, despite the last consonant mismatch, which is perhaps caused by the addition of another Egyptian word. In Classical Syriac once ܢܒܟܐ (nābəḵā) or ܢܒܩܐ (nābəqā) equated by Bar Hebraeus with ܟܢܪܐ (kənārā) and ܥܙܪܪܐ (ʿazrārē).
