Phrygian

Etymology

From Classical Phrygian ʌɛɓ̰ (lebb), from Proto-Semitic *libb-. Cognate with Hebrew לֵב (lev), Aramaic לִבָּא (libbā), Arabic لُبّ (lubb), among others. The plural forms were likely derived by analogy with other nouns for body parts, since most use the fossilized dual paradigm.
