Arabic

Etymology 1

From the root ق ن ي (q-n-y) related to acquiring, for the gum acquired. But rather so formed in Ge'ez where the same root exists and a broader meaning in ቀንአት (ḳännəʾät), ቅንአት (ḳənnəʾät), ቀንዓት (ḳännəʿat, “galbanum; stacta”), which to derive vice versa from Arabic is formally dubious. Possibly a phono-semantic matching of Ancient Greek κόμμι (kómmi) or in Ethiopia directly its Egyptian etymon or the Aramaic descendant.

Noun

قِنَّة • (qinna) f

  1. any Ferula plant, as well as the gum of such a plant (galbanum)
