  5. Some considerations on the vocabulary of the Qur’an Trying to classify the specific presumed foreign or loaned vocabulary of the text one must consider: the Semitic part (Aramaic, Akkadian, Hebrew, Ethiopic etc.): – common Semitic, i.e. inherited words, which can have specific, not properly Arabic meanings – borrowed from Semitic languages, to be recognized by phonetic features and specific meanings borrowings from non-Semitic languages (Iranian, Greek, Latin etc.) And, most important: one must try to divide two layers in that vocabulary: – foreign or loan words belonging to the common and general vocabulary of Arabic at the time – words characteristic and specific of Qur‘anic usage or introduced by this text

  6. Aayat an-Nuurand the word mishkaat | mäshkotbetween Arabic and Ethiopic

  7. Motifs around the taabuut/tabot Q 2,248 Q 20,39 In any case, and quite important: tabuut is typical Palestinian Aramaic, as some other words of the religious sphere in Arabic and Ethiopic.

In the Greek Bible: satanas /diabolos In the Ethiopic Bible: shayTaan (reguum) only later in learned revisions: diyablos shayTaan rajiim : In the Qur‘aan; and: ibliis

  9. Maa’ida arab. Maa’ed(d)e eth.Proposed etymology Greek / Latin: table literary popular tarapeza ma(g)ida(n) In the Greek gospel: tarapeza maa‘ed(d)e: In the Ethiopic gospel: maa‘ida: In the Qur‘aan 5,112 ss.;passage with possible reminiscences of Ethiopic homiletic text
