It says ነቅዕ / näqʾəʿ instead of ምዕቃል/ məʾəqal; it does not fit. “ሐነጸ አንቅዕተ ማያት” He built water sources (ሢራ፶: ፫).

ነበርፃው/ Näbärṣ̣aw: Sleep of the eyelid, drowsiness. ፃው/ Ṣaw is a part of ብፃው/ bəṣ̣aw; see በፀወ/ beṣ̣äwwä. It says ነበጽራይው/ näbäṣ̣rawəy instead of ነበርፃው/ bärṣ̣aw; see its meaning in its place. However, when ነበርጻው/ näbärṣ̣aw is said to be sweet in spring, it is the seed of በረጸ/ bäräṣä and therefore, placing it in the category of lentil, it shows abundance and fullness (ኩፋ: ፳፫).

ነቢያን/ Näbiyān፡ (ያት። ዕብ ንቢኢም) prophets. Yan is for males, yat is for females; yan is very precise; this is like saying ዐቢይ ያን ያት/ ʿabīy yan yat. But the book, without distinguishing between male and female, gives the female form to males and does not make them plural, saying ነቢያት/ näbiyāt instead of ነቢያት/ näbiyān; it is a scribes error. “ኵሎሙ ነቢያት እለ እምአመ ሳሙኤል ።” All the prophets from the time of Samuel. “ኵሎሙ ነቢያት እለ እምአመ ሳሙኤል። ወቦቱ ሐሳውያነ ነቢያት።” And there were false prophets. “እስመ መንፈሰ ነቢያት ይትኤዘዝ ለነቢያት።” For the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets. “ዐሠርቱ ወክልኤቱ ነቢያት” The twelve prophets (ግብ፫: ፳፬። ፪ጴጥ: ፪: ፩። ፩ቆሮ: ፲፬: ፴፪። ሢራ፵፱: ፲).

See ናፈቀ/ nāfäqä which is ነፈቀ/ näfe፟qä. Because it is a root, it says ንፉቅ/ nəfūq instead of ኑፉቅ/ nūfūq; because it is a blessed house, it does not fit. “ውሂበከ ኢትናፍቅ፤ እስመ ንፉቅ እምእግዚ ይርሕቅ።” Do not desire your gift; for the hypocrite is far from God. “ንፉቃነ ሃይማኖት” Hypocrites of religion (ገድ: ተክ። ፪ጢሞ: ፫: ፰).

Thirdly, it says ናሁ አመትከ/ nāhū ʾamätkä instead of ነያ/ näya. “ናሁ ድንግል።” Behold, the virgin. “ወናሁ ኤልሳቤጥኒ ይላል፤ አያሰኝም።” And behold, Elizabeth also, it does not fit. “ርኢ ጽዮንሃ” Where it says See your Zion, it also says ናሁ ጽዮን/ Behold Zion (ኢሳ፴፫: ፳).

He said, In the brain. “ዝንጉዕ በአማስኖ ናላሁ” He is foolish in the swelling of his brain (ሢራ፵፯: ፬። ስንክ: ግን፲፱። አፈ: ተ፭። ፈላስ። ፍ: ነ: ፵፪). It says ናላ/ nālā instead of ድማኅ ርእስ/ dəmʾāḥə rəʾəs; it is a mistake of the translator. “ሖሩ ይቅብርዋ ወኢረከቡ ዘእንበለ ናላሃ” They went to bury her and found nothing but her skull (፬ነገ: ፱: ፴፭).

But the book says ናዛሪ/ Nāzrāwī instead of ናዛሪ/ Nāzārī ናዝራዊ/ Nazirite; it is a mistake of the translator and the scribe (መሳ፲፫: ፭: ፯። ፲፮: ፲፯። ስንክ: መጋ፴). The work of a vow is of two kinds; the first has no end or part; the second has an end (፩ነገ: ፩: ፲፩። ዘኍ፮: ፪ –፭: ፲፰). ናዚር/ Nāzīr also means two other distinct things in Hebrew besides a child of a vow: the first is the leader of the people, the king with a crown; the second is a vine whose branches are not cut or trimmed with scissors, a leafy vine, a vine stock.

But in Hebrew, Niṣaret is a pure shoot; it says nāṣar meaning he kept, he hid, and nēṣer Niṣaret meaning plant, sapling, branch, tender shoot. And when they interpret Nazarene in this way, since he is the good shepherd, the second Adam, this word shows his protection as his office (ዘፀ፫: ፪። ኢሳ፲፩: ፩። ኤር፳፫: ፭። ፴፫: ፲፭። ዘካ፫: ፰። ፮: ፲፪). And Nazareth means the place of planting, a garden. If they interpret it according to the first meaning, as Nazirite and Nazir, it shows that the work of his vow, his purity, his holiness, and even his solitude, is that God anointed and appointed him by his Spirit like Melchizedek, a king, a priest, a vine stock (ግብ፲: ፴፰። መዝ: ፪: ፮። ፻፱: ፬። ዮሐ፲፭: ፩).

Its meaning is despised; it inherited its name from its people who lived in contempt like the children of a vow. “ውእተ አሚረ ይሰምይዋ ለናዝሬት በስመ ኀሳር።” For this reason, they call Nazareth by the name of contempt. “ይትከሀልኑ ይፃእ ኄር እምናዝሬት።” Can anything good come out of Nazareth? “ኅሥሥ ከመ እምገሊላ ኢይትነሣእ ነቢይ” Search, for no prophet arises from Galilee (ትር: ወን። ዮሐ፩: ፵፮: ፵፯። ፶፪).

ናዪን/ Nāyīn: (ጽር። ዕብ ናዒም) The name of a country; very near to Mount Tabor. It means “ሠናይት መስተፍሥሒት” beautiful, joyful (ሉቃ፯: ፲፪).

Its reading and mystery agree with Let the waters be gathered together; see ገብአና ጋብአን ገበበ/ gäbʾa, gābʾa, gäbäbä; its mystery is a pit and a low land. “ወአመ ኀሙስ ትቤሎ ለዝኩ ማየ ናጌብ ከመ ያውፀአ አዕዋፈ ወዓሣተ።” And on the fifth day, he said to this water of the Negev to bring forth birds and fish. “እምቅድመ ይዕምቅ ማየ ናጌብ።” Before the water of the Negev sinks. “አውፅኦሙ ለዘመደ አዕዋፍ እማየ ናጌብ” He brought forth the kinds of birds from the water of the Negev (ሱቱ: ዕዝ፬: ፶፬: ፶፰። መጽ: ምስ: ገ፳፯። ፷፯).

ናፌል/ Nāfēl: (ጽር ናፊሊም። ዕብ ናፊል፤ ንፊሊም) Fallen, cast down; gigantic, terrible, a demon. im is plural, it means the fallen ones; it also says ናፊልም/ Nāfēdim instead of ናፌዲ(ድ) ም/ Nāfīl; it is incorrect. But the scholars, thinking they are two words, call ናፌድም/ Nāfēdim the mighty ones and ኀያላ/ Nāfīl the weak ones; see ዔናቅ/Anakim (ራእ፲፪: ፱). “ወወለዱ ውሉደ ናፌድመ፤ ወኵሎሙ ኢይትማሰሉ፤ ወይበልዕ አሐዱ አሐዱ ካልኦ፤ ያርብሕ በልዖ ለናፊል ወናፊል ለኤልዩ” And they begat children of Nāfēdim; and they were all unlike; and one ate the other; the eating of Nāfīl prevailed, and Nāfīl over ʾēlyu (ኩፋ: ፯).

Formerly called Abib in Hebrew, it was called Nisan after the Babylonian captivity; its sign is with signs, meaning with wonders; secondly, it shows departure and flight, trial. ንሻን/ Nəšān also agrees with ኔሳን/ Nisan; its root and source are ኔሳን/ näsäsä and ነሰወ/ näsäwä. “ኔሳን፤ ዘውእቱ ሚያዝያ።” Nisan; which is Miyazya. “ዕቀብ ወርኀ ኔሳን፤ እስመ በወርኀ ኔሳን ወፃእከ እምድረ ግብጽ” Observe the month of Nisan; for in the month of Nisan you came out of the land of Egypt (ተረ: ባሮ። ዘዳ፲፮: ፩).

ኖኅ/ Nōḥ፡ (ዘፍ፭: ፳፱) A mans name, son of Lamech; rest, remnant. Because he and his children, the seven of them, will rest and survive from suffering and destruction, his ancestor Enoch named him in advance in his prophetic book when he was born. “እምድኅረ መዋዕል ነሥአ ወልድየ ማቱሳላ ለወልዱ ላሜኽ ብእሲ ወፀነሰት እምኔሁ ወወለደት ወልደ።” After a while, my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she conceived by him and bore a son.” . . . ወሶበ ተንሥአ እምእዴሃ ለመወልዲት ከሠተ አፉሁ ወተናገረ ለእግዚአ ጽድቅ።” ... And when he arose from the hands of the midwife, he opened his mouth and spoke to the Lord of righteousness. “ወፈርሀ ላሜኽ አቡሁ እምኔሁ፤ ወጐየ ወመጽአ ኀበ አቡሁ ማቱሳላ ወይቤሎ ፥ አነ ወለድኩ ወልደ ውሉጠ።” And his father Lamech was afraid of him; and he fled and came to his father Methuselah and said to him, I have begotten a strange son. “ኢኮነ ከመ ሰብእ አላ ይመስል ደቂቀ መላእክተ ሰማይ ፥ ወፍጥረቱ ካልእት ወኢኮነ ከማነ ፥ ወአዕይንቲሁ ከመ እግረ ፀሓይ ወገጹ ስቡሕ።” He is not like a man, but he resembles the children of the angels of heaven, and his form is different, and he is not like us, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and his face is glorious. “ወይመስለኒ ከመ ኢኮነ እምኔየ አላ እመላእክት ውእቱ፤ ወእፈርህ ከመ ኢይትገበር መንክር በመዋዕሊሁ ዲበ ምድር።” And it seems to me that he is not of me but of the angels; and I am afraid that a wonder will not be wrought in his days upon the earth. “ወይእዜኒ እስእል እምኀቤከ ከመ ትሑር ኀበ ሔኖክ አቡነ ወትስማዕ እምኀቤሁ አማነ እስመ ውእቱ ምስለ መላእክት ንብረቱ።” And now I ask of you that you go to our father Enoch and hear from him the truth, for his dwelling is with the angels. “ወሶበ ሰምዐ ማቱሳላ ነገረ ወልዱ መጽአ ኀቤየ . . . ወይቤለኒ በእንተ ጻሕቅ ዐቢይ መጻእኩ ኀቤከ ወበእንተ ራእይ ዕጹብ . . .።” And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he came to me... and said to me, I have come to you because of a great righteous one and because of a wondrous vision... “ወአውሣእኩ አነ ሔኖክ ወእቤሎ ይሔድስ እግዚ ሐዲሳተ ዲበ ምድር፤ ወዘንተ ወጻእኩ ወርኢኩ በራእይ ወአይዳዕኩ፤ . . .።“And I, Enoch, answered and said to him, The Lord will do new things upon the earth; and this I have gone out and seen in a vision and made known; ... “ወዝ ወልድ ዘተወልደ ለክሙ ውእቱ ይተርፍ ዲበ ምድር፤ ወሠለስቱ ደቂቁ ይድኅኑ ምስሌሁ ሶበ ይመውቱ ኵሉ ሰብእ በዲበ ምድር . . .።” And this son who is born to you, he will remain upon the earth; and his three sons will be saved with him when all men upon the earth die... “ወይእዜኒ አይድዕ ለወልድከ ላሜኽ እስመ ዘተወልደ ወልዱ ውእቱ በጽድቅ፤ ወጸውዕ ስሞ ኖኅ እስመ ውእቱ ይከውን ለክሙ ተረፈ” And now make known to your son Lamech that the son who is born to him is righteous; and call his name Noah, for he will be for you a remnant (ሔኖ: ፺). Secondly; in addition to being a remnant, it signifies long life, and that a seed of long life will live. “ወሐይወ ኖኅ እምድኅረ ማየ አይኅ ሠለስተ ምእተ ወኀምሳ ዓመተ፤ ወኮነ ኵሉ መዋዕለሁ ለኖኅ ተስዐቱ ምእት ወኀምሳ ዓመት ወሞተ” And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years; and all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died (ዘፍ፱: ፳፰: ፳፱). Great rain is also called Noah (ዐማርኛ).

ኖላዊ/ Nōlāwī፡ (ዊት ውያን ያት፤ ሎት፤ ነዋልው) One who watches, a guardian; a leader, a driver, a shepherd; a king, a bishop. “ኖላዌ አባግዕ ።” Shepherd of sheep. “ወጸውዐ ሰብዓ ኖላውያነ።” And he called seventy shepherds. “ኖሎተ እንስሳ።” Pasturing of animals. “ወወፅኡ ዐሠርቱ ወክልኤቱ ነዋልው” And the twelve shepherds went out (ዘፍ፬: ፪። ሔኖ: ፹፱። ዘኍ፴፪: ፬። ገድ: ተክ). It says ተኖለወ/ tänoläwwä and ተኖላዊ/ tänolāwī instead of ኖለወ/ noläwwä and ኖላዊ / nōlāwī; it is incorrect. “ሌሊተ ተኖልዎሙ።” The night of their pasturing. “ምሕረትከ ይትኖልወኒ።” Your mercy pastures me. “በተኖልዎ ወአስተሐምሞ።” In his pasturing and caring. “አንሰ ኮንኩ አዐቅበከ ወእትኖልወከ እምዘየኀሥሥ ሥራዌከ።” I myself have guarded you and pastured you from those who seek your destruction. “ተኖላዊሆሙ ለጸላእተ ክርስቶስ።” Their shepherd is the enemy of Christ. “ምጽዋት ተኖላዊት ይእቲ ለገባሪሃ” Charity is a shepherdess to her doer (ቅዳ: ያዕ። ቄድር። አፈ: ተ፴፯። ዮሴፍ። አብጥ: ፵፱። አፈ: ተ፴፪).

ኖት አው ኖታ/ Nōt ʾaw nōtā፡ (ላቲን) a bank note; instead of silver and gold. Its meaning is a reminder, a note, a sign; its root is ነዊጥ/ näwīṭä ኖጠ / nōṭä, they are related; see ኖጠ/ nōṭä. And its mystery is passing from one to another. In German language, Bank also means the table of money changers, a donation of money (ማቴ፳፩: ፲፪። ዮሐ፪: ፲፭).

ኖትያ ኖትያዊ/ Nōtyā nōtyāwī፡ (ብ ነዋትያን፤ አው ኖትያት። ጽር ናውቲስ። ዐረ ኑቲይ) Sailor, shipowner; ships servant, pilot, rower; ferryman. “ተመትሮ ማዕበለ ደም እንተ ኢፈርሀ ልብከ ገብረ መርዓዊ ኖትያ።” The wave of blood that your heart did not fear made the bridegroom a sailor. “ኖትያዊ ይኔጽር ኀበ ከዋክብት።” A sailor looks to the stars. “ፈነወ ኪራም በሐመር ዕደወ ኖትያተ እለ የአምሩ ባሕረ።” Hiram sent in the ship the servants of the sailors who knew the sea. “ወፈርሁ ኖትያት” And the sailors were afraid (ቅኔ። ማር: ይሥ። ፫ነገ: ፱: ፳፯። ዮና፩: ፭). But the poets say nōtäwwä (he swam) and derive nōtyā from this, leaving its meaning as primary.

ኖትያ/ Nōtyā፡ Sailor; see ነወተ/ näwwätä.

ኖን/ Nōn [1]፡ (ዕብ ኑን)The name of the letter n, the 14th of the alphabet. Its meaning in Syriac is a long fish, resembling a snake, a type of snake. See ነሐስ/ näḥās; it is one with this. ኖን/ Nōn (ኔር/ Ner) is a “ማኅቶት ለእግርየ” lamp to my feet (መዝ: ፻፲፰: ፻፭ –፻፲፪። ሰቈ፩: ፲፬። ፪: ፲፬። ፫: ፴፱። ፬: ፲፬). But the commentators on the Psalms say it is a name of God and its meaning is King.

[2] Nōn: Nōn; the name of the letter ነ/ n; see ነወነ/ näwänä.

ኖጠ/ Nōṭä፡ (ዕብ ናጥ) He shook, he stirred; or he was shaken, he was stirred; he turned, he wandered, he went back and forth. See ኖት/ nōt and ኖትያ/ nōtyā.
