Item	Meaning	Etymology
tāl-	all	Romance tot- and Germanic all-. Influenced by Arabic kull-.
-u-	masculine singular	Latin -us. Influenced by Arabic nominative singular ending -u(n). The singular nature of this word is influenced by Arabic usage.
-∅	construct form	Arabic.
khōm-	person	Arabic qawm "people". The lack of a definite article after the determiner "all" is influenced by Germanic.
-ī-	masculine plural	Latin -ī, Arabic -īn. Considered to come from an earlier form *-uy-, where -u- is the masculine vowel and *-y- is the original plural marker. This hypothetical *-y- is a backformation from the plural endings and is additionally influenced by Esperanto -j.
-n	genitive	Repurposing of Arabic tanween, particularly in the triptote genitive ending -in. Also influenced by oblique endings in -n in various languages, such as the Amharic and Esperanto accusatives, German dative plural, etc. The placement of this word in the genitive is influenced by Arabic.
fār-	free	German frei and Arabic ħurr- (and its Portuguese descendant forro).
-u-	masculine singular	See above.
-m	accusative	Latin -m (in -um, -am, -em). This usage of the accusative is influenced by Arabic.
ya	and	Gothic jah. Influenced by Persian yā "or".
qōn-	equal	Corruption of Proto-Germanic *ebn- (the ancestor of English even) through a hypothetical development *ebn- > *eun- > *ōn-, with a sporadic ʕ- inserted.
-u-	masculine singular	See above.
-m	accusative	See above.
bi	in	Arabic bi- and fī (both of which can mean "in"). The primary meaning is spatial. The usage of spatial "in" to mean "in terms of" is influenced by English.
al	the (definite article)	Arabic al-. Also influenced by Spanish el. Its usage in this generic sense is influenced by Arabic.
adr-	dignity	Influenced by English dignity and Arabic sharaf.
-a-	feminine singular	Latin -a. Influenced by Arabic -a(h), pausal form of the feminine ending -at-.
-n	genitive	Influenced by various oblique forms ending in -n such as German -en (dative plural + masculine accusative singular of adjectives + oblique forms of weak nouns/adjectives) and Esperanto -n (accusative). This usage of the genitive is influenced by Arabic.
