I have been thinking about the #etymology of #Arab. There are many theories as to what it means including an exonym meaning westerners, because we were living to the west of #Assyrians.

But lately I think there’s a possible etymology no one seem to have considered.

In #Mehri, a language spoken in #Oman and #Yemen. There’s a cognate of Arab that means to speak. Considering that Arabs refer to non-Arabs as Ajam literally mute, it is a possibility that Arab means “person I can understand”.
