▪ MDN_2 ‘…’ ↗… ♦ Semantic value spectrum in ClassAr (acc. to BAH2008): ‘city, fortress, to settle in a place’ are concepts which some philologists consider to be associated with this root. Others derive these concepts from the root DYN. It is clear from literature, however, that madīnaẗ came into Arabic as a borrowing from Aram. Madyan, which some philologists derive from this root, is generally recognised as a foreign name.
