قنفذ

Etymology
Considering the spirantization of the final consonant, and the occasional variation of the second syllable with fatḥa, borrowed from /  /, which in 🇨🇬 is written out , as also in 🇨🇬 beside , also likely the source of 🇨🇬, all meaning hedgehog. Compare 🇨🇬 as a borrowing with a similar form, where the main Aramaic dialects do not display the insertion.
