A list of English words not inherited from Proto-Azalic. (with etymologies different from Earth etymologies)
Most Arabic loans in English instead come from an unrelated Camalic language.
Semitic
- dint as in by dint of from Togarmite dint 'judgment, sentence', from the root √d-(j)-n 'to opine, to judge'
- main meaning 'high seas' from Togarmite mein 'water' (cognate to Hebrew מים máyim)
- siren from Togarmite seiran 'alarm, smoke signal' from the root √s-(j)-r 'to call, to warn' (hypothetical cognate to Hebrew שר shar 'to sing').
- weird from Togarmic wierd 'conspicuous' < OTog wėrēd, active participle of warād 'to appear, to descend'
- fellow from OTog φallāh
- sure, ensure, assure, insure from Togarmite yšur (related to Hebrew אישר ʔiššér 'to confirm' and אשר ʔăšer a relativizer originally meaning 'place')
- ennui from Togarmite anúj 'angst', originally 'suffering' in Early Modern Togarmite but it fell out of use and was revived as a philosophical term meaning 'existential angst'; in turn borrowed from Cubrite ąnúy, inherited from Hebrew עינוי (hā-)ʕinnuy 'torment, torture' (root ʕ-n-y "poor, affliction", doublet of native Togarmite ȝanėþ 'to need')

- host (first used as a verb 'to provide hospitality') from Cubrite hóst 'hospitality, accommodation; things provided for such purpose' < Early Modern *hást (trap-bath) < Ancient Cubrite ħast "generosity, kindness" < Biblical Hebrew חסד 'grace' (TibH ħéseḋ)
- dude from Cubrite túd 'bro', from Hebrew דוד *dōd 'beloved'
