نَطع

نِطْع (noun)

Etymology: Apparently from Old South Arabian, perhaps mediated and distorted in local Aramaic, compare Sabaean 𐩬𐩦𐩱 (ns²ʾ, “to build up, to raise (buildings, terraces etc.); to take out (water); to levy (taxes); to expel”), 𐩬𐩦𐩱𐩬 (ns²ʾn, “a social class, stratum”), 𐩣𐩬𐩦𐩱 (mns²ʾ, “a gathering, assembly; (military) campaign, offensive”), figurative developments of the cognate to the Arabic root ن ش ء (n š ʔ).

Meaning: a piece of lamb leather washed and tanned so one can sit on it, recline on it, play boardgames on it, eat on it, or form a sack from it by pulling a cord; executioners used it to collect the blood of the decapitated; palate, palatum durum

نُطِعَ (verb)
