Mt. Sinai – Jeffery1938

▪ eC7 Q ii, 60, 87; iv, 153; xix, 53; xx, 82; xxiii, 20; xxviii, 29, 46; lii, 1; xcv, 2 – Jeffery1938.

▪ Jeffery1938: »Twice it is expressly coupled with sīnāʔ, and except in lii, 1, where it might mean ‘mountain’ in general, it is used only in connection with the experiences of the Israelites at Sinai.1 / It was early recognized by the philologers as a foreign word. al-Ǧawālīqī, Muʕarrab, 100; Ibn Qutayba, Adab al-Kātib, 527; al-Suyūṭī, Muzhir, i, 130; and Bayḍ. on lii, 1, give it as a Syr word, though others, as we learn from al-Suyūṭī, Itq, 322, thought that it was a Nabataean word. / Hbr ṣûr = [Grk] pétra, from meaning a ‘single rock, boulder’, comes to have the sense of ‘cliff’, and Aram ṭwrʔ is a ‘mountain’. So in the Targums ṭwrʔ d-syny is ‘Mt. Sinai’,2 but the ṭūr sīnāʔ of the Qurʔān is obviously the Syr ṭūr sīnāy which occurs beside ṭūrā d-sīnāy.3 «

√ṬWF 
“root” 
▪ ṬWF_1 ‘…’ ↗…
▪ ṬWF_2 ‘the Deluge’ ↗ṭūfān
▪ ṬWF_3 ‘…’ ↗…

♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008, s.r. Ṭw/yF): ‘apparition, phantom, spectre; to go about, to walk about, to roam about; to circulate; to encompass, to circuit; to appear in one’s dream; to be touched by the devil; group of people, flood; raft’ 
▪ It has been suggested that the derivative ṭūfān is a pre-Islamic borrowing from either Hbr or Syr. The overlap between the derivatives of the root ṬWF and ṬYF is such that it is impractical to attempt to separate what belongs to either – BAH2008
