أبى

Etymology
Supposedly from ; according to unifying theory, the meaning of wanting is the original, but came to be always used with negation, such that this is the bulk of attestation of 🇨🇬, and the dialects which standard Arabic has been based on have dropped the negating particle while other dialects continue the older situation. The alternative view assumes mutilated, well-known, behind the nonstandard meanings.
