هوتة

Arabic

Etymology

The root ه و ي (h w y) forms other words meaning pits or depressions. However, the formation is irregular in Arabic terms and the ending of consonant + ـْتَة (-ta) and the vowel variation point to Classical Syriac ܗܘܬܐ (hawṯā), formed with the Aramaic feminine ending from a cognate root.
