شنبه

شنبه (şənbə) (definite accusative شنبه‌نی (şənbəni), plural شنبه‌لر (şənbələr))

1. Arabic spelling of şənbə

• شنبد (šanbad) (obsolete, dialectal)
• شنبذ (šambað) (Classical Persian)

From earlier form شنبذ (šambað) from late Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫢𐫖𐫁𐫅 (šmbd /⁠šambad⁠/) from early Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫢𐫖𐫁𐫎 (šmbṯ /⁠šambat⁠/, “Sabbath, Saturday”) (akin to Manichaean Parthian 𐫢𐫖𐫁𐫤 (šmbt /⁠šambat⁠/, “Sabbath, Saturday”)), ultimately from Hebrew שַׁבָּת (shabát, “Sabbath”), itself possibly from Akkadian 𒊭𒉺𒀜𒌈 (šapattum, “the middle day of the month”). Akin to Aghwan 𐕐𐔰𐕌𐔱𐔰𐕜 (šambaṭ), an Iranian borrowing.
