Etymology
. Cognates allow an earlier form to be reconstructed, but further etymology requires speculation. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and , 🇨🇬 and , 🇨🇬, and a form found in North Africa. In particular, 🇨🇬 resembles Standard 🇨🇬.

Building from that resemblance, the reconstructed may reflect an, which would have been composed of  +  and undergone a similar semantic development to  before. Cognate forms like 🇨🇬 and would accordingly reflect.

This derivation from would make for the only known example of a possessive pronoun, here, fusing into its stem and ceasing to function as a productive clitic. Indeed, behaves today as a single morpheme, able to take both further possessive pronouns as in  and Lebanese  as in ; contrast Lebanese.

Alternatively, Anis Frayha records under the root  in his dictionary of Lebanese Arabic, which invites a connection to e.g.  and implies that ’s  is a prefix, but this becomes untenable in light of its cognates in. The word remains visibly of the root and reminiscent of Standard 🇨🇬.
