وتين
Arabic
Etymology
Since the aorta supplies the cardiovascular system blood, perhaps a trace of Proto-Semitic *watan- (“to give”) put forward by a minority as the actual base verb “to give” which نَتَنَ (natana, “to stink”) derives from. وَتَنَ (watana) supposedly means “to be inexhaustible, to perpetual” of sources flowing without cease, parallelling like-patterned وَرِيد (warīd, “vein”) being related to وِرْد (wird, “watering-hole”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /wa.tiːn/
Noun
وَتِين • (watīn) m (plural وُتُن (wutun) or أَوْتِنَة (ʾawtina))
