إشبينة

Arabic

إِشْبِينَتَانِ

Alternative forms

شَبِينَة‎ (šabīna), شِبِينَة‎ (šibīna)

Etymology

Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܫܰܘܫܒܺܝܢܬܴܐ‎ (šawšəḇīntā), developed as the feminine form of Classical Syriac ܫܰܘܫܒܺܝܢܳܐ‎ (šawšəḇīnā), from Akkadian 𒋢𒊓𒁉𒉡 (/susapinnu/, “paranymph, friend of the bridegroom in a wedding ceremony”), not attested with feminine equivalent. Ultimately a foreign word, structure suggesting Anatolian, but strangely attested in Hittite as an Akkadogram.
