Arabic[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

From Proto-Semitic *malk-. The insertion of the vowel i is irregular, leading, though it could be a prop vowel as in إِبِل(ʔibil), to the suggestion that it is instead borrowed from an archaic Aramaic predecessor to Aramaic מַלְכָּא(malkā, king), along with the clear borrowing مَلَكُوت(malakūt).
