donn

Kienu donnhom imdejqin.

(literally, “They were (by) their appearance despondent.”)

Donnok ma tifhimx.

(literally, “(By) your appearance you don’t understand.”)

From Arabic. Probably the imperfect of ظَنَّ (ẓanna, “to think, opine, conjecture”) in a phrase like أَظُنُّهُم مُتَضايِقِين (ʔaẓunnuhum mutaḍāyiqīn, “I think them despondent”). Then reconstrued as an adverb (or false verb). Alternatively from the related noun ظَنّ (ẓann, “opinion, conjecture”), but this seems unlikely.
