نجر⁷
Where it comes from
Seemingly a metathesis of جُرْن (jurn) – which is regionally also جِرْن (jirn) –, possibly motivated by the unrelated verb نَجَرَ (najara, “to hew, to plane”) since in a broad sense this is what one does with a mortar.

- mortar (used with a pestle)
In English
- mortar vessel used to grind ingredients
