Meaning: cattle; calf; buffalo
Notes: In the Cush. forms, *d- may alternatively originate from *ǯ- to compare to Sem *(ʔa)d_abb(Vy)- 'buffalo; heifer': Arb d_abb-, ʔad_abb- 'buffle' [BK 1 762-3]; Sel. Wol. zäbay 'calf bigger than radä, heifer' [LGur 702]. Cf. Bla. Beja Fauna, 7-8. Cf. HSED, 2661 *ǯibaʕ- 'bull': Oromo; Log. 'cattle tax' (in fact, an Arabic loan); and Eg d_bʕ 'bull' (the postulated correspondence Eg. d_ <*ǯ lacks proof).
