      “Sixth Day” but Saturday is considered the 7th day of the week. The Bible says that god created the world in 6 days, and rested on the 7th, the Shabbat. Only much, much later, was Sunday added as a rest day – in some countries Sunday is still a work-day, with Saturday being the rest day at the end of the week.

      P.S. – here come the downvotes because iSo DeFiNeS iT dIfErEnTlY

      Armenian շաբաթ is read as shabat and pronounced as shapat. So, pretty close to the original.

      Edit; oh and it also means week in Armenian lol

      Wasn’t “Sonabend” alias “Eve of Sunday” used in parts of Germany?

      English could be described as having:

      Moonday, Marsday, Mercuryday, Jupiterday, Venusday, Saturnday and Sunday.

      (Just swap in / out a few Nordic / ancient germanic gods here and there for alternative words)

      Literally every Turkic country ever: Senbi/Sanba

      Turkey: CUMARTESİ

      In German, there are actually two words:

      Samstag und Sonnabend

      Arabic sabt is a phono-semantic matching of Syriac ܫܒܬܐ shabta, modified in Arabic as if the Arabic word had derived from a Proto-Semitic root s-b-t, however, this is proven not to be the case because the Proto-Semitic root was th-b-t, and Arabic has native words derived from this root, namely **ثَبَتَ**, thabata ‘be fixed, be stable.’

      Thus, the Arabic word derives from Christian Syriac speakers, or much less likely Jewish Syriac speakers. So the color coding of the Arabic part of the map is wrong, and belongs in green with the other words derived from Hebrew.
