jana

== Finnish == === Etymology === In dialects meant "row, line" (e.g. of traps), from where it was adopted into the literary language. The first instance of the modern meaning in geometry is from 1860. There are two theories for the etymology of this word. The first supposes that the word is directly related to juoni, although the exact derivation is unclear. It is quite often described as a "sound-symbolic" variant of such, mainly in light of the supposed other obscured derivatives juna, jono and others. The other theory supposes a borrowing from Proto-Norse [script needed] (*(j)ānaʀ) (from Proto-Germanic *jēnaz; compare Old High German jān). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈjɑnɑ/, [ˈjɑ̝nɑ̝] Rhymes: -ɑnɑ Syllabification(key): ja‧na Hyphenation(key): ja‧na === Noun === jana (geometry) line segment ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “jana”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 === Anagrams === Anja, ajan, jaan == Pali == === Alternative forms === === Etymology === From Sanskrit जन (jana). === Noun === jana m person; man; people ==== Declension ==== ==== Descendants ==== Burmese: ဇန (ja.na.) === References === Pali Text Society (1921–1925), “jana”, in Pali-English Dictionary‎, London: Chipstead == Sardinian == === Etymology === From Latin Diana, from Proto-Italic *deiwā, from Proto-Indo-European *deywós. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈjana/ === Noun === jana f (plural janas) fairy == Swahili == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʄɑ.nɑ/ === Etymology 1 === Inherited from Proto-Bantu [Term?]. ==== Adjective ==== jana (invariable) last (most recent time) ==== Adverb ==== jana yesterday ==== Noun ==== jana class IX (plural jana class X) yesterday === Etymology 2 === From the root of mwana. ==== Noun ==== jana class V (plural majana class VI) augmentative of mwana: large child larva, grub ===== Derived terms ===== kijana (“youth”) == Ye'kwana == === Etymology === From Proto-Cariban *pana. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [hʷana] === Noun === jana (possessed janadü) ear ==== Derived terms ==== === References === Cáceres, Natalia (2011), “jana”, in Grammaire Fonctionnelle-Typologique du Ye’kwana‎[6], Lyon Hall, Katherine Lee (1988), “hana”, in The morphosyntax of discourse in De'kwana Carib, volumes I and II, Saint Louis, Missouri: PhD Thesis, Washington University, page 289 Hall, Katherine (2007), “hāna”, in Mary Ritchie Key & Bernard Comrie, editors, The Intercontinental Dictionary Series‎[7], Leipzig: Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, published 2021 == Zulu == === Alternative forms === -dana === Etymology === From -de (“long, tall”) +‎ -ana (diminutive). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /dʒaːna/ === Adjective === -jana rather long fairly tall ==== Inflection ==== === References === C.
