Iordáin

== Irish == === Alternative forms === Iórnán, Orthannán === Etymology === The modern form is borrowed directly from Latin Iordanēs, from Ancient Greek Ἰορδάνης (Iordánēs), from Biblical Hebrew יַרְדֵּן (yardén, “Jordan (river)”). The traditional forms Iórnán, Orthannán are from Old Irish Iordanein, from the Latin accusative Iordanēn, from the Ancient Greek accusative Ἰορδάνην (Iordánēn). The Aran form *Hórlán shows dissimilation of -nán to -lán as well as rebracketing of /h/ in the phrase Sruth Orthannáin (“River Jordan”). === Pronunciation === (Aran) IPA(key): /ˈhoːɾˠlˠɑːnˠ/ (as if spelled Hórlán) === Proper noun === An Iordáin f (genitive na hIordáine) Jordan (a country in West Asia in the Middle East; official name: Ríocht Haisimíteach na hIordáine) Jordan (a river in West Asia in the Middle East, that empties into the Dead Sea, flowing through Israel, the Golan Heights, the West Bank and Jordan) ==== Derived terms ==== Iordánach (“Jordanian”, adjective) Iordánach m (“Jordanian”) === Mutation === === References === === Further reading === “Iordáin”, in Historical Irish Corpus, 1600–1926, Royal Irish Academy Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “Eorthanán, Orthan(n)án”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “Órthannán”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language “Jordan”, in New English-Irish Dictionary, Foras na Gaeilge, 2013–2026 de Bhaldraithe, Tomás (1959), “Iordáin”, in English-Irish Dictionary, An Gúm
