ܝܬܘܡܐ

Etymology
The form, from , from is attested in Nineveh Plains in Maclean’s ‘A Dictionary of the Dialects of Vernacular Syriac’ (1901). However, the modern form exactly matches the common adjective pattern 1a22ū3ā, suggesting that this word originally meant “orphaned, fatherless,” while  would have been the noun “orphan”. This distinction was probably lost and the adjective form assumed both meanings. Compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬.
