Etymology 3

[edit]

Unclear if from senses of heat, since heat is what moves and spawns everything, or from carpenters making door-sills, or metathesized from رِجْل (rijl, foot), considering that Aramaic נִגְרָא / נִיגְרָא / ܢܓܪܐ (niḡra) is such a metathesis having both the literal sense of a foot and transferred senses, or even Late Middle Persian equalling Classical Persian نژاد (nižād, lineage, root, origin).
