NUMBER: 1121
PROTO: *duhn-, *daha/in-
MEANING: fat
еврейский (иврит): PB dāhōn 'fattening substance, urin-soaked dung' [Ja 281]
арамейские: PLM dhn 'fat' [HJ 242]
иудейский арамейский: dahănā 'fat (n.)' [Ja 281]; cf. dǝhīn 'fat (adj.)', dhn (Pe., Pa) 'to be fat; to fatten' [ibid.]
сирийский арамейский: dūhānā 'pingue, pinguedo' [Brock 143]. Cf. dahrā do. [ibid.] (a variant root ?)
современные арамейские: HRT dohna '(tierisches) Fett' [J Hert 186] AZR dihna 'fat (s.)' [Garb 303]
мандейский арамейский: DHN 'to grow fat, be fat' [DM 103]; cf. duhna 'prosperity' [ibid. 104], with a feasible meaning shift
арабский: duhn- 'huile, graisse' [BK 1 745]; dahin- 'graisse' [ibid.]
тигре: dähanä 'to give butter as a present or as a tribute' [LH 509]; mädhanät 'butter as a present or a tribute' [ibid.]. Though not attested in other ETH, hardly a loan-word from ARB where this verbal meaning is not found
восточноэфиопские: (?) Sel Wol Zw däl 'belly', Zw dälam, etc. 'one who has a big stomach'
гураге: (?) Cha Gye dän, E M Ms Go dänn 'belly'; Cha däniya, etc. 'one who has a big stomach' (LGur 205 <*däl), *dǝnäddänä 'be stout, fat, thick' ibid. 212
NOTES: JIB dɛhɛ́n 'to have a bad smell' [JJ 36] compared in [DRS] is semantically doubtful. Cf. ETH *dandana 'to be fat, stout, thick' [LGur 212] (see [LGz 136] for possible cognates outside ETH); if related as a primary stem reduplicated, -h in *duhn- is rather to be understood as a secondary triconsonantizer.
