Etymology

* From the root ق ر ب (q r b), with the form I being reconstructed securely as Proto-Semitic *ḳarib-, likewise the form II as Proto-Semitic *ḳarrib-.
* While the Biblical Hebrew קָרַב (qāráḇ, “to approach”) governs prepositions of approach like אֶל (el), לְ (lə), עַל (ʿal), the Arabic قَرُبَ (qaruba) has obtained the opposited preposition مِن (min) by analogy of بَعُدَ (baʕuda, “to be far”); compare the same with دَنَا (danā, “to come near”).
