Ethiopia became a Christian empire in 330 AD, before the conversion of Rome to Christianity. The very first Christian coins displaying a cross were also from Ethiopia's Aksumite Empire. Before Christianity, Temple Judaism had a presence there for over a thousand years.

@hhlahoud I'd love to see a list of colloquial Lebanese Arabic with Syriac-origin words.

@MikeWingert The common word used, in Syria & Lebanon, for the word "guard" is "notur" comes from the Syriac " noturo ܢܳܛܽܘܪܳܐ ".

The #Syriac (#Aramaic) word of the day is ܢܛܪ (nṭar), "to keep / guard." Pronounced "nṭar." Cognate with Hebrew נָצַר (nāṣar). Like نَظَرَ in Arabic. I'm pretty sure I hear this in Lebanese Arabic in phrases like "Nteer hon" ("wait here"). #Assyrian #Aramaic #Languages #WOTD
