Etymology 2[edit]
From Aramaic ניב (nīḇ, “fang, tusk; pincer”) unless otherwise a Proto-Semitic development, potentially an extension from Akkadian 𒉏𒋭 (nūbtu, “honeybee; stringers”), hence sharp things that pierce in and do not release like a predator's use of canine teeth. The sense "aged female camel" makes reference to the length of the female camel's permanent canine teeth, which begin to emerge around 7 years of age. It belongs morphologically to the root ن ي ب (n-y-b), with connections to نُوب (nūb, “bees”), Ugaritic 𐎐𐎁𐎚 (nbt, “honey”), Phoenician 𐤍𐤐𐤕 (npt, “virgin honey”), Ge'ez ንህብ (nəhb, “bee, drone”), and Shehri nibbet (“bee, wasp, stinging insect”).
Noun[edit]
نَاب • (nāb) m (plural أَنْيَاب (ʔanyāb) or نُيُوب (nuyūb) or أَنَايِيب (ʔanāyīb) or أَنْيُب (ʔanyub))
- fang, tusk
- 10th century, Al-Mutanabbi
- إِذَا رَأَيْتَ نُيُوبَ ٱللَّيْثِ بَارِزَةً
فَلَا تَظُنَّنَّ أَنَّ ٱللَّيْثَ يَبْتَسِمُ- ʔiḏā raʔayta nuyūba l-layṯi bārizatan
fa-lā taẓunnanna ʔanna l-layṯa yabtasimu - If you see the lion’s fangs jut out,
you are not supposed to believe that the lion smiles!
- ʔiḏā raʔayta nuyūba l-layṯi bārizatan
- 10th century, Al-Mutanabbi
- canine tooth
- large teeth, long thick teeth
