Etymology

[edit]

A variant of ط ي ر (ṭ-y-r), also Classical Syriac ܛ-ܘ-ܪ (ṭ-w-r), other Aramaic and Hebrew ט־ו־ר (ṭ-w-r). An Aramaic borrowing into Arabic is also possible, so that that the verbs are denominal from the noun, compare أَنَى (ʔanā, to draw near) from آن (ʔān, time) (from a root related to time that can be traced back to Proto-Semitic as can be seen by Akkadian inu (time)), and the similar semantics behind تَارَة (tāra, time) and تَوّ (taww, knot; instance).

Root
