Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Considering the spirantization of the final consonant, and the occasional variation of the second syllable with fatḥa, borrowed from Aramaic קֻפְדָּא / קוּפְּדָּא (qupdā) / ܩܽܘܦܕܳܐ (quppəḏā), which in Classical Mandaic is written out ࡒࡅࡍࡐࡅࡃ (qunpud), as also in Samaritan Aramaic ࠒࠍࠐࠃ (qnfd) beside ࠒࠐࠃ (qfd), also likely the source of Hebrew קִפּוֹד (qippṓḏ), all meaning hedgehog. Compare Arabic خُنْفُس (ḵunfus, “beetle”) as a borrowing with a similar form, where the main Aramaic dialects do not display the /n/ insertion.
Related to meanings of the root ק־פ־ד / ܩ ܦ ܕ / ق ف د (q f d) “to be wrinkled, to be twisted up, to wind, to roll entirely round”.
