Arabic
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]The form is a مِفْعال (mifʕāl) from the verb أَنَى (ʔanā, “to draw near”). Nevertheless, it is predominantly considered a loanword. Perhaps from Egyptian mjnwt (“harbor”) or mjnt (“mooring post”), related to Egyptian mjnj (“to moor”).[1][2] Alternatively from Ancient Greek λιμήν (limḗn, “harbour”), whence also Hebrew נמל (nāmēl), with l- reinterpreted as the Arabic article.
