Etymology 2

As Hebrew לְבֵנָה‎ (ləḇenā́, “brick”) borrowed from Aramaic לְבִינְּתָּא‎ (ləḇinṯā, ləḇittā) (written in Classical Syriac ܠܒܬܐ‎ (ləḇettā)), from Akkadian 𒋞 (SIG₄ /libittu/), whence also Ugaritic 𐎍𐎁𐎐𐎚 (lbnt), from the root in Akkadian corresponding to ل ب ن‎ (l-b-n), apparently the singulative in Arabic came first.

Noun

لِبْن or لَبِن • (libn or labin) m (collective, singulative لِبْنَة‎ (libna) or لَبِنَة‎ (labina))

bricks, adobes
