hebreisk

== Norwegian Bokmål == === Alternative forms === hebraisk (usual form) ebreisk (archaizing, rare) === Etymology === Borrowed from German hebräisch (“Hebrew, Hebraic”), from Old High German hebraeisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic”) (also hebraeisc), from Late Latin hebraicus (“Hebrew, Jewish”), from Byzantine Greek Ἑβραϊκός (Hebraïkós, “Hebrew, Hebraic”), from Ancient Greek Ἑβραῖος (Hebraîos, “Hebrew”), from Aramaic עִבְרַי (ʿiḇray, “Hebrew”), ultimately from Biblical Hebrew עִבְרִי (ʿiḇrī, “Hebrew, Israelite”). The Biblical Hebrew term is commonly connected with עֵבֶר (ʿēḇer, “the other side, beyond”), though its ultimate origin is uncertain. Doublet of hebraisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic”) and ebreisk (“Hebrew, Jewish”). Compare Swedish hebreisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /hɛˈbreː.ɪsk/ Rhymes: -eːɪsk Hyphenation: he‧bre‧isk === Adjective === hebreisk (neuter singular hebreisk, definite singular and plural hebreiske, comparative mer hebreisk, indefinite superlative mest hebreisk, definite superlative mest hebreiske) (literary, rare) alternative form of hebraisk (“Hebrew, Hebraic”) === References === “hebreisk” in Det Norske Akademis ordbok (NAOB).
