Etymology

From Arabic ظَهَرَ (ẓahara, “to appear”). The unexpected imala may be connected to an irregular development in some roots with final /r/, compare difer and sider. Compare also dahar (“back”), which shows the expected vocalism.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /dɛːr/

Verb

deher (imperfect jidher, past participle midhur, active participle dieher, verbal noun dhur)

  1. to appear; to become visible; to show up
