Etymology

From Arabic مُرَبَّى (murabbā).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /mu.rab.ba/, [mʊ.rab.ba]

Noun

مربى • (murabba) f (construct state مربى (murabbat) or مربة (murabbat), dual مربتين (murabbatēn), plural مُرَبَّات (murabbāt))

Usage notes

Even though the noun ends in an ى instead of the usual ة, it still follows the feminine noun rule of ة endings in construct state and dual number; مُرَبَّتين (murabbatēn) instead of مُرَبَّيَانِ (murabbayāni).
