Etymology

[edit]

Unknown. Maybe from the root ء ن ق (ʔ-n-q), maybe natively from نَاقَة (nāqa, female camel) or via a lost Aramaic term as in struthiocamelus (ostrich), but this is less likely since old dictionaries understand the word as ذَكَر الرَّخَم (ḏakar al-rraḵam, male of the Egyptian vulture), maybe from ع ن ق (ʕ-n-q) as in another name of a long-necked bird عَنْقَاء (ʕanqāʔ), the form of a color or defect adjective, compared to Aramaic אִינְקָא (ʾinqā) for a large bird, however regularly compared to Ge'ez አንቄ (ʾänḳe), አንቄት (ʾänḳet), maybe a borrowing from a regional form of it, since in Ethiopian Semitic the Proto-Semitic pattern KaLīM shifted to KaLūM.
