صفد
Arabic
Etymology
In view of the restricted meanings, exposing only denominal verbs, probably an Aramaic borrowing, with the original form seen in Classical Syriac ܨܦܕܐ (ṣep̄dā, “book binding; pitcher of wine”), evidently only two fragments of a more general meaning, suggested by Jewish Palestinian Aramaic צפד (ṣfd, “to weave”). The other Arabic form صِفَاد (ṣifād) is secondary, a pattern popular for fasteners and instruments of a certain kind, see شِكَال (šikāl), or even back-formed in dialects from the plural as with زِنَاد (zinād) instead of زَنْد (zand). Probably to be traced to a biliteral root, found in ܨܦܘܦܐ (ṣappūp̄ā, “fetters, clogs”), Arabic ضَفَّ (ḍaffa, “to push, to throng, to jam”), extended in Arabic ضَفَرَ (ḍafara, “to weave, to plait”), while صَفَّ (ṣaffa, “to line”) may be an Aramaic borrowing again. Arabic كِبْل (kibl) and قَيْد (qayd) are also Aramaisms.
