خنوص

Arabic

خنوصان

Etymology

Ultimately derived from Proto-Afro-Asiatic *ḫunʒ(-ir)- (“pig, boar, porcupine; calf, piglet”) from whence Arabic خِنْزِير‎ (ḵinzīr, “pig, swine”) and Arabic خُنْس‎ (ḵuns, “gazelle, wild cows”) is also derived; inherited natively or semantically reinforced from a Berber borrowing, compare the related Kabyle ⴰⴳⴻⵏⴷⵓⵣ (agenduz, “calf, young animal”). Cognates with Classical Syriac ܚܰܢܽܘܨܳܐ‎ (ḥannūṣā, “piglet”) and Maltese gendus.
