Neither whb 'gave' nor tgr 'merchant' are exclusively Arabic. Both are common in Aramaic as well, and tgr is originally Sumerian.

How the closely it related to Ammonite and moabite.

Something not mention, would be names, estimated dates and locations of inscriptions and text in Edomite. - Thank-you! --Anaccuratesource (talk) 20:57, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I could tell, there's a few inscriptions in "Ḥorvat-ʕuza" and "Ḥorvat Qitmit"- defining what we know about Edomite, from the 8th to 6th centuries BCE, in three alphabets I believe (Cuneiform, Phoenician and Aramaic), I recall there's only 4 or 5 inscriptions, with real text, and some sculptures of deity "Qoš/Qos", sometimes the the name prescribed, which might be related to Nabataeans/Bedouin tribes. And you are right about these roots, "whb" common in Ethio-Semitic as well, probably as retention, and might be a cognate of Hebrew "hb" / "yhb" (bring, give), Tigrinya has both roots ("ወሃቢ" - donor, "ሃበ"), the strange thing, "whb" did not go through the North-West-Semitic shift to "yhb" here, but it happens "even" in Hebrew sometimes as a re-loan probably ("yld" vs "wld"). "tgr" might be related to either Sumerian or some Indo-European source.

@Zhomron: Please stop making up “reconstructions.” Rhemmiel (talk) 18:49, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The reconstruction is not made up in the slightest, in fact, it's from the literal only source in that section. So, no. Zhomron (talk) 20:18, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
