naip

== Catalan == === Etymology === Uncertain, but likely ultimately from Arabic نَائِب (nāʔib, “deputy”), the second-highest court card in the Mamluk deck. Cognate with Italian naibi. Alternative theories derive it from Arabic لَعِب (laʕib, “game”) or, with regard to the Islamic prohibition against card games, Arabic مَعِيب (maʕīb, “blameworthy”). These appear less likely, though interchange of sonorants occurs quite often in Ibero-Romance borrowings from Arabic. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): (Central, Balearic, Valencia) [ˈnajp] === Noun === naip m (plural naips) playing card Synonym: carta f ==== Descendants ==== → Spanish: naipe→ Portuguese: naipe === Further reading === “naip”, in Diccionari de la llengua catalana [Dictionary of the Catalan Language] (in Catalan), second edition, Institute of Catalan Studies [Catalan: Institut d'Estudis Catalans], April 2007 “naip”, in Gran Diccionari de la Llengua Catalana, Grup Enciclopèdia Catalana, 2026 “naip” in Diccionari normatiu valencià, Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua. “naip” in Diccionari català-valencià-balear, Antoni Maria Alcover and Francesc de Borja Moll, 1962. == Tok Pisin == === Etymology === From English knife. === Noun === naip knife == Turkish == === Etymology === Inherited from Ottoman Turkish نائب (naib), from Arabic نَائِب (nāʔib). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [naːˈip] Hyphenation: na‧ip === Noun === naip (definite accusative naibi, plural naipler) regent === References === Nişanyan, Sevan (2002–), “naip”, in Nişanyan Sözlük Avery, Robert et al., editors (2013), The Redhouse Dictionary Turkish/Ottoman English, 21st edition, Istanbul: Sev Yayıncılık, →ISBN
