n. 
anchorage – WehrCowan1979. 
n.loc. from ↗rasā ‘to be firm; to anchor’. 
▪ eC7 Q 11:41 wa-qāla 'rkabū fī-hā bi-'smi ’ḷḷāhi maǧrā-hā wa-mursā-hā ‘and he said: Bord it [the ark]! In the name of God will be its sailing and anchoring’; Q 79:42 yasʔalūna-ka ʕani ’l-sāʕati ʔayyāna mursā-hā ‘They ask you [prophet] of the Hour: when ever it its arrival [lit. coming to port]?’ – BAH2008. 
▪ ↗rasā 
▪ In the Q, the word appears as mursà, not marsà. Accord. to Jeffery1938, it is only in Q 11:41 that it means ‘harbour, haven’ (in other places it is ‘fixed time’). With this meaning, accord. to the author, the word is a loan from Gz marso ‘haven’.
