ܓܪܒܝܐ
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic
Etymology
From Aramaic גַרבְּיָא (garbəyā), from Akkadian gallābu šamê (gallābu šamê, “North wind”, literally “Barber of the sky”), in Mesopotamian contexts, the reference is usually to “northwest”, i.e., upriver, therefore related to ܓܲܠܵܒ݂ܵܐ (gallāḇā, “dagger”) and ܫܡܲܝܵܐ (šmayyā, “sky”).
Noun
ܓܲܪܒܝܵܐ • (garbyā) m (uncountable)
- north (compass point, 0° directed toward the North Pole)
- Synonym: ܐܸܣܬܵܢܵܐ (istānā)
