@Fay Freak, is there a derivation in Arabic where the first vowel is u? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:40, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- فُرْحَة (furḥa, “a cause of joy or gladness”), a not so common vocalization of فَرْحَة (farḥa). If I add this vocalization to فَرْحَة (farḥa) perhaps one of those square IPs will remove it. Theoretically a **فُرَاحَة (**furāḥa) is imaginable, as سُحَارَة (suḥāra). Fay Freak (talk) 01:59, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- Well, the final vowel doesn't need accounting for, as I'm sure you know. Given the inconclusiveness of your findings, I suppose I'll leave the entry as is. (It may also be another one of those pesky Omani dialectal variations.) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:33, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- I could only imagine أَفْراح (ʔafrāḥ), plural of فَرَح (faraḥ). After a labial the expected svarabhakti is /u/, so *afuraha > furaha by procope. But it seems more likely to be simply from faraḥ with a slightly irregular /u/ < /a/. 2.203.201.41 22:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
