If we assume a pronunciation /ɔː/ for ā in ancient Ḥijāzi dialects of Arabic, as is also found necessary to be posited for other borrowings as قَيُّوم (qayyūm) and to make the Ethiopian Semitic borrowings of the present word phonologically plausible, then it is possible to conceive this word loaned from copiously attested Aramaic גיורא / ܓܝܘܪܐ (gīyōrā, alien; proselyte), functionally equivalent to Ugaritic 𐎂𐎗 (gr, foreign resident, protected guest) and Hebrew גֵּר (gēr, alien; proselyte) of which the feminine is גִיוֹרֶת (giyyṓreṯ, proselyte), while the specific meaning of a “neighbour” is found developed in Palestinian Aramaic מגירה / ܡܓܝܪܐ (məḡīrā)Northwest Semitic derivations of Proto-West Semitic *gawar- in the sense of ”to encroach upon the limits of, to assail, to come over” (while inheritance from Proto-West Semitic of the present noun per se would be difficult to construct); for the simplification of the shape of the word regard Arabic حُوت (ḥūt, fish; whale).
