ܦܛܝܚܐ

Etymology

While it has been theoretized to have been acquired in Semitic via Egyptian bddw-kꜣ (“watermelon”) from sub-Saharan Africa, there is an explanation as an Iranian borrowing equivalent to Persian بیدخت (bêdoxt, “Venus”), which is the known Akkadian 𒂗 (bēlu, “master; Bel, Baal”) + Persian دخت (doxt, “daughter”), literally “daughter of Baal”; compare Arabic بَطِّيخ (baṭṭīḵ) and Hebrew אֲבַטִּיחַ (avatíakh).
