behemoth

Etymology
From, from , from. Most likely, the Hebrew word is an intensive plural of, from (compare 🇨🇬, Arabic ). Some have instead suggested a borrowing from a hypothetical, from +  +  in a direct genitive construction (for the pronunciation, compare the later Coptic descendants  +  + ); this, however, suffers from problems such as the lack of attestation of the supposed etymon, and there seems little reason to prefer it to the intensive plural explanation.
