Arabic

Etymology

  • From the root ز ب ر (z-b-r), meaning "to be well composed, to be well written", "to be engraved or written skillfully", a variant of ذ ب ر (ḏ-b-r), the later being considered to be derived from the Lua error in Module:parameters at line 239: Parameter 1 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "sem-him" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. Dialect; cognate with Hebrew דיבור and Ugaritic 𐎄𐎁𐎗 (dbr).
  • Less likely a variation of the root ز م ر (z-m-r), meaning "to play a pipe or reed", "use a musical instrument", "to make music or play a melody"; semantically borrowed from Hebrew זָמַר (zamar, to make music, sing; to praise, to sing psalms).
