Etimologie (Engels)

A Berber borrowing, originally spread in African Latin and then gradually replacing the native ulva, compare Kabyle tabuda (“Typha angustifolia”) etc., also Arabic بُرْدِيّ (burdiyy), بُوط (būṭ, “cattail”) from which some forms have later been reborrowed into Romance, listed there. There is an interpolation in the Dioscurides locus about θαψία (thapsía) after φέρουλα σιλβέστρις saying that the Africans call it βοιδίν (boidín) (Ἅφροι βοιδίν, left out in Dioscórides interactivo), which mirrors a Berber collective morpheme -īn (as explained by Bertoldi 1947 p. 195 seq.).
