Arabic edit

 
سُور

Etymology 1 edit

Argued to be a loan from Aramaic שׂוּרָא‎ / ܫܘܪܐ(šūrā), but other cognates such as Sabaean 𐩣𐩬𐩪𐩥𐩧𐩩(mns¹wrt, walls) and Tigre ሶር (sor, partition wall) (unless that form is itself borrowed from Arabic) suggest that it may in fact be inherited.

Noun edit

سُور (sūrm (plural أَسْوَار(ʔaswār) or سِيرَان(sīrān))

  1. wall that encloses and protects a building
