Root
ܐ ܪ ܚ (ˀ r ḥ)
4 terms

From Aramaic אָרְחָא (ʾārḥā), equivalent to the active participle of ܐܵܪܹܚ (ārēḥ, to journey, to travel); compare Hebrew אוֹרֵחַ (oréakh). The first sense developed from the second (now displaced by ܐܘܼܪܚܵܝܵܐ (urḥāyā)); where travelers were regularly treated as guests, and guests from other villages would typically travel long distances.

Etymology 2

[edit]
ܐܪܚܐ (ܡܛܚܢܐ ܕܡܝ̈ܐ)

From Aramaic רְחֵא/ܪܚܹܐ (rḥē) with a prosthetic alaph, the absolute form of רַחְיָא (raḥyā); compare Classical Syriac ܪܲܚܝܵܐ (mill, millstone), notice both having the feminine gender despite a masculine noun structure; compare also Arabic رَحَى (raḥā, millstone) and Hebrew רֵחַיִם (rekháyim, millstone, grindstone).
