Talk:هجين

Greek origins?
Is this word related to Greek εὐγενής (eugenḗs) meaning “well-bred”?

I find it thus in Arabic Etymological Dictionary - Rajki (2005):

” hajin [hajin] : racing camel; mixed-blood [from Gre eugenes] ”. Jafroni (talk) 22:00, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No. This has been reproved already by, to , where Levy wanted to explain with  as well, though it is cognate to 🇨🇬 in the  42:12.
 * I don’t think it does the root justice to reduce everything to a denominal formation from this one Greek word borrowed somewhen (when?). I’d rather think that 🇨🇬 is a Semitism, a phono-semantic matching like  and  in specific meanings. CAL is thus greenhornish with their Greek derivation of Judaeo-🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 /  (the last on another page), which does not even seem to imply a certain breed of camel anymore. They should have seen the note by Fleischer since it is referenced and accepted by.
 * So is right to deem the Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew a West-Semitic formation, together with 🇨🇬.
 * Fleischer recognized that the original idea by which we can connect the meanings of nobility and race-camels, but on the other hand someone from both Arabic and Aryan descent, ultimately contranymously something derogated due to being impure and worthless for breeding, is light colour, as in a certain preferred type of a camel; you know there are colour words only used for camels or horses, often of shallow origin.
