Etymology

[edit]

From Hurrian 𒉡𒊏𒀭𒋾 (nu-ra-an-ti /⁠nuranti⁠/, pomegranate), which is related to Hittite 𒉡𒊏𒋾 (/⁠nurati-⁠/), and Akkadian 𒉡𒊑𒅎𒁺 (nu-ri-im-du /⁠nurimdu, nurimtu⁠/, pomegranate), Sumerian 𒉡𒌫𒈠 (NU-UR2-MA /⁠nurma⁠/), Akkadian 𒉡𒌫𒈠 (NU-UR2-MA /⁠nurmû⁠/, pomegranate). See Arabic رُمَّان (rummān) for another order of the consonants.
