Semitic Philology du Jour: Jawz (for husband in N. Levantine) comes from Aramaic Agoz "walnut" (i.e. dual), אֱגוֹז , while zawj (husband in both Syriac & Arabic), both from Greek ζεύγος (pair). https://t.co/MdNDvyZnmp — PolitiTweet.org

Lebanese words of the day: Tjawwaz: he got married, get married (imperative) Jawz: husband Jawz: pair, couple Jawz: walnut
