ܢܓܒܘܫܬ [?] ngbwšt an Indian fruit
Allotrope: ܐܢܓܒܘܫܬ ʾngbwšt
LS suggests that the Syr. word is a corrupted form representing NP nār-mušk an Indian fruit resembling the pomegranate, the flowers of which, when they fall, are fragrant; Indian fruit good for the liver (Steingass 1370); however, if the hypothesis is tenable, the loanword is probably older, being attested in Med, and implies MP *nar-mušk ● ngbwšt Med 307, 15; BA 2, 9, 6; 16, 8; BB 1214, 15; ʾngbwšt Med 393, 9 ◆ LS 413a; PS Suppl. 23; 205; Duval index pers. 227
