, Ge'ez has ḥawāre may ‘water carrier", see Leslau. Does form anything suitable in Arabic? --Vahag (talk) 19:21, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No, if not perhaps (a river bed or river shore can be of chalky rock?), but I don’t know if this meaning is old enough, for in the Middle Ages it meant a kind of flour. You on the linked root almost all what is there; it’s silly tapping around now:  is “water”, and  is literally someone who goes about, therefore ሐዋሬ፡ ማይ፡ “water goer”. Hey but for a related word at, don’t you have a descendant? It’s the Islamic word for “apostle” (borrowed from Ethiopian Christians). Fay Freak (talk) 23:16, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Assuming the second half of the word is separable, given the two other related words, then the root  is a good fit because it is related to sinks. is common, for example. Fay Freak (talk) 23:38, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , thanks. I do not like separating the word into parts which are not independently used. That's what I didn't like in Martirosyan's etymology in the first place. ḥawāriyy ‘disciple, apostle’ was not borrowed as far as I can tell. --Vahag (talk) 13:55, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
