ܒܪܬܐ

From the older form *ܒܪܲܬܵܐ (*brattā), variant of Aramaic בַּרְתָּא (barṯā), from Proto-Semitic *bint-. Possibly a back-formation from old possessive forms such as Classical Syriac ܒܪܲܬ݂ܝ (braṯ, “my daughter”); compare Mlahsö ܒܪܰܬܐ (brato), Turoyo ܒܰܪܬ݂ܐ (barṯo), Arabic بِنْت (bint), Hebrew בַּת (bat) and Akkadian 𒁉𒅔𒌈 (bintum). The latter noun is derived from the former through baby talk or mimicking of it.
