  2. ^ Brook, Zev (2022) “Which Arabic Dialect Are Swahili Words From?”, in Studia Orientalia Electronica‎[1], volume 10, number 1, page 8 of 1-10:
    ‘Flag’, Sw bendera. From OAr bendyra norm. bendīra (R: 76) / bandḗra (N: 60). Reinhardt thinks it is from Italian, and Jayakar (1889: 838) points to Persian; Portuguese bandeira makes much more sense than either suggestion. The attested OAr forms vary significantly in vowels, with Reinhardt’s being more nativized than that of the donor dialect, but the first vowel in the Sw form supports OAr mediation rather than a direct loan from Portuguese, as Mugane (2015: 96) claims.
