"miʕay-" meaning in All languages combined

See miʕay- on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Semitic]

Etymology: *mi- (“device preformative”) + *waʕay- (“to contain”) as in Arabic وِعَاء (wiʕāʔ, “container”), after Rundgren, who dares speak of “uralte dissimilation” from *miwʕay-. Compare also some forms mentioned under Arabic إِنَاء (ʔināʔ, “receptacle”) formed in Proto-Semitic. According to Jastrow there is *ʕayn- (“eye; source”), since Mishnaic Hebrew מַעְיָן (maʿyān) means both “inside, digestive organ” and “spring, fountain, source, issue”, which, while the Biblical dual or plural also often means “inward parts”, even “emotions”, is for the whole word dubious since like with English inwards, or even English guts, the reverse figurative development is totally likely, but it may be a source of contamination for that variant unless it is not just the *-ān- suffix, which is also most likely.

Compare also some forms mentioned under Arabic إِنَاء (ʔināʔ, “receptacle”) formed in Proto-Semitic.\nAccording to Jastrow there is *ʕayn- (“eye; source”), since Mishnaic Hebrew מַעְיָן (maʿyān) means both “inside, digestive organ” and “spring, fountain, source, issue”, which, while the Biblical dual or plural also often means “inward parts”, even “emotions”, is for the whole word dubious since like with English inwards, or even English guts, the reverse figurative development is totally likely, but it may be a source of contamination for that variant unless it is not just the *-ān- suffix, which is also most likely.",
