Arabic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From أَب (ʔab) and هَوْل (hawl): “the dreadful one,” literally “father of dread.” Phono-semantic matching from Coptic only attested by transcription in al-Maqrīzī as بلهيب and بلهويه which in turn is likely derived from Demotic pꜣ-ḥwr (“Horon, a Canaanite god with whom the Sphinx was identified”).
