كناب

See also: کتاب, كباب, کباب, and كتاب

Arabic

Etymology

From the root ك ن ب (k-n-b). Since this is not a well-known root, apparently a dissimilation of كِمَام (kimām) or كِنَان (kinān) or another formation of either roots, and other forms within the root are denominal from the designation of this plant-part.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ki.naːb/

كِنَاب • (kināb) m

  1. a stalk of the raceme of a palm tree upon which the dates are gathered
