▪ Jeffery1938: »Again it would seem, on the surface, that this word also is from banà ‘to build’. Sprenger, Leben, i, 108, has noted that words of this form are un-Arabic, e.g. qurbān, furqān, sulṭān, subḥān, etc., and lead us to look for an Aram origin. Fraenkel, Fremdw, 27, points out that we have in Aram binyān, bînyāynāʔ beside bnyytā and bnʔytʔ, and in Syr binyānā ‘building’. In Hbr also we find binyān, but as Lagarde, Übersicht, 205, shows, this is a borrowing from Aram. [Ar] bunyān occurs in the old poetry so it was doubtless an early borrowing from Aramaic.«
