Etymology 3
Uncertain. Lane claims that it is from the root ت ب ع (t-b-ʕ), in reference to how when one king died, his successor would follow his policies. The unusual plural pattern suggests a borrowing from Old South Arabian, but the cognate root in those languages likely has the same meaning of "follow", and is only attested in theophoric names.

North Levantine Arabic
Etymology
Grammaticalized from Arabic تَبَع (tabaʕ). The feminine form is from Arabic تَبَعِيّ (tabaʕiyy).
Preposition
تبع • (tabaʿ) m or f or pl (feminine تبعيت (tabʿīt; (rare) tabʿiyyit) or تبعت (tabʿit), plural تَبعُول (tabʿūl))
- forms possessive pronouns of all persons with the respective personal suffixes
- هيدي تبعيتي
- haydi tabʿīti.
- This one is mine.
- of; used appositively after a noun instead of an ordinary possessive iḍāfa construction
- هيدي التنورة تبعيت إمي
- haydi t-tannūra tabʿīt ʾimmi
- This is my mother’s skirt.
- بَدِّي إستعمل الكمبيوتر تبعكن
- baddi ʾistaʿmil l-kumpyūtar tabaʿkun
- I need to use your computer.
Usage notes
- The latter construction is particularly common with foreign nouns, as in the example, or with proper nouns. The reason is that adding personal suffixes to these, though perfectly possible, may sound awkward.
- Some speakers do not inflect the word for gender or number.
