Etymology[edit]
From Arabic نَهَقَ (nahaqa). Root-internal -h- does not normally become -ħ-. The development is probably expressive as it preceded the general loss of /h/. Vassalli already gives this word with /ħ/.
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
naħaq (imperfect jinħaq, verbal noun nħiq)
- to bray (make the sound of a donkey)
