منبر

Arabic

مِنْبَر

Etymology

By form a tool noun from نَبَرَ‎ (nabara, “to raise the voice, to shout”); however this derivation is too large a leap, thus it is borrowed from Ge'ez መንበር (mänbär, “seat”), regularly formed from ነበረ (näbärä, “to sit”) as Arabic مَجْلِس‎ (majlis) from جَلَسَ‎ (jalasa).

Pronunciation
