Paléstiné

== Musi == === Alternative forms === Peléstiné === Etymology === From Latin Palaestīna (“Roman province of Palestine”), from Ancient Greek Παλαιστίνη (Palaistínē, “Philistia and the surrounding region”), from Hebrew פְּלֶשֶׁת (p'léshet, “Philistia, land of the Philistines”). The term P-l-s-t or P-r-s-t, found in five Ancient Egyptian inscriptions (beginning with one at Medinet Habu from circa 1170 BCE and ending with Padiiset's Statue inscription from circa 900-850 BCE) as the name of a people near Egypt, is traditionally taken to be cognate. Seven Assyrian inscriptions contain the word "Palas(h)tu" or "Pilistu", which is usually also taken to be cognate. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /pʌ.lɛs.tɪ.nʌ/ Hyphenation: Pa‧lés‧ti‧né === Proper noun === Paléstiné Palestine (a country in West Asia) ==== See also ==== === References === === Further reading === mui:Paléstiné on the Musi Wikipedia.Wikipedia mui
