📚 Word Origin & History

Abbreviation of English Namibian Sign Language. Put by Koehler-Baumgartner to Arabic بَلَس (balas, “fig”) / Ge'ez በለስ (bäläs, “fig; sycomore”); because the Egyptian word has been glossed to mean sycomore, but this is not done so anymore. Instead the sycomore is in Egyptian nht, and Arabic has a similar word for the Christ’s thorn jujube in نَبِق (nabiq).
