نجل

Arabic

Etymology

From the root ن ج ل‎ (n-j-l). Connectable to Hebrew נָגַר‎ (nagar, “to flow out”), Aramaic נְגַר‎ (nəgar, “to flow out”), Classical Syriac ܢܓܰܪ‎ (nəgar, “to last”), Ge'ez ነገድ (nägäd, “kin; progeny”), Hebrew נֶכֶד‎ (neḵeḏ, “progeny”), Ge'ez ነገደ (nägädä, “to travel”), Aramaic נְגַד‎ / ܢܓܰܕ‎ (nəgad, “to flow; to draw, to pull; to stretch out”), Ge'ez ሞገድ (mogäd, “wave”), Ge'ez ነገለ (nägälä, “to be uprooted; to roll up”), Classical Syriac ܢܓܰܠ‎ (nəgal, “to clear away”). From here developing ideas of begetting, offspring creeping out of plants and animals, so also in Tigre ነገል (näggäl, “young goat, kid”).
