North Levantine Arabic

Etymology 1

From Arabic وَصِلَ (waṣila, “to arrive”). The alternative nonpast vowelings point to complications resolving the imperfective و (w), presumably similarly to the complications that led to the form of Standard Arabic يَصِل (yaṣil). Interdialectal borrowing may also be at play, such as between dialects that had elided the original و (w) and dialects that could not accept such a form unadapted.

Verb

وِصِل • (wiṣil) I (non-past يُوصَل (yūṣal), active participle وَاصِل (wāṣil) or وَصْلَان (waṣlān))

1. to arrive
