[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܫܰܘܫܒܺܝܢܬܴܐ (šawšəḇīntā), developed as the feminine form of Classical Syriac ܫܰܘܫܒܺܝܢܳܐ (šawšəḇīnā), from Akkadian 𒋢𒊓𒁉𒉡 (/susapinnu/, “paranymph, friend of the bridegroom in a wedding ceremony”), not attested with feminine equivalent. Ultimately a foreign word, structure suggesting Anatolian, but strangely attested in Hittite as an Akkadogram.
