محبت
See also: محبة
PersianEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Arabic مَحَبَّة (maḥabba, “love”). The predominant shift of the first vowel from /a/ to /u/ is due to analogy with the large number of Arabic participles with initial /mu/ such as مهندس (muhandis or mohandes, “engineer”), محاربه (muhâraba or mohârabe, “war”) etc.
PronunciationEdit
- (Classical Persian) IPA(key): /muhabbat/, /mahabbat/
- (Dari) IPA(key): /mʊhabbat/, /mahabbat/
- (Iranian Persian) IPA(key): /mohæbbæt/, /mæhæbbæt/
