Tigre

Etymology

Perhaps directly from Ottoman Turkish قامچی (kamçı), since the Ottoman empire extended to the Abyssinian coast and variation /h/ ~ /q/ is typical for Turkic, and this word in Arabic dialects is restricted to the Levant and an isolated Egyptian Arabic قَمْشَة (ʔamša), however one has also found a Yemeni Arabic قَامِش (qāmiš, “plait of electricity wires”) from the same Turkish word,[1] which relates to the meaning of a particularly long whip in Tigrē and parallels its anaptyctical second vowel; lost different dialectal forms for this whip word in Yemen or the Ḥijāz are plausible.

Noun

ሐነጅ • (ḥänäǧ)[2]

  1. long whip
