engl
woman; wife – WehrCowan1979.
conc
Feminine of marʔ ‘man’. Goes back to protSem *marʔ‑at‑, *māriʔ‑at‑ ‘woman, mistress, lady’ – Huehnergard2011.
hist
▪ eC7 Q 27:23 ‘woman’, 19:8 ‘wife’
cogn
▪ CAD: Akk mārtu (merʔatu, marʔatu, māštu) ‘daughter; (young) girl, woman’
▪ Bennett1998: Sab mrʔt ‘woman’. – Outside Sem: Berb ṯa-mġar-ṯ (Senhayi), ta-mṭːū-ṭː (Ayt Segrouchen), talta (Ghadamsi) ‘woman’.
▪ If, as suggested by Cohen1969, Akk amīlu ‘man’ is a cognate of Ar marʔ, then also Akk amīltu (awīltu, amēltu, awēltu, amīltu) ‘woman; female, feminine’ should be compared. However, as already the first is precarious, the other is not less so.
disc
▪ Huehnergard2011 reconstructs Sem *marʔat‑, *māriʔat ‘woman, mistress, lady’, as the f. of *marʔ‑, *māriʔ ‘man, master, lord’.
▪ The Berb forms mentioned in Bennett1998 are due to contact with Ar.
west
▪ Huehnergard2011: Not from Ar ĭmraʔaẗ / marʔaẗ, but from its Aram counterpart, mārᵊtā, is the Eur name Martha.
deriv
► al-marʔaẗ al-musalsalaẗ, n.f., Andromeda (astron.)
