autistic_enby@hachyderm.io@ics @agatha Is "asubuhi" Swahili for morning?
In Arabic, "the morning" is "al sabah" ("el subh" in Egyptian Arabic), but actually the L in "al" is silent in this case, and you can add a final "i" depending on conjugation.
I'm adding that to the list of Swahili words that have Arabic origins along with Rafiki (which means friend in Swahili, and "my partner" in Arabic).

autistic_enby@hachyderm.io@ics @agatha that thing about the morning is interesting, because even in English "day" can refer to morning and noon and afternoon, not necessarily the entire 24 hours, and in french people say good day (bonjour) rather than good morning. So maybe many languages didn't need a specific word for morning as it was just the "start of day".
Arabic seems to be more specific in time-of-day, even the afternoon as its own unique word (without "after").
