Etymology 2
The Wörterbuch considers this a further derived nominalized nisba adjective, presumably formed from Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value); however, the form *jꜣbtj with the nisba ending written out is nowhere attested with this meaning. Such an analysis is, nonetheless, supported by the masculine gender of this term.
