Swahili etymology[edit]

Every published source I can find derives this from Portuguese, but it just occurred to me that Persian میز (mēz, table) is a very good fit as well. An interesting coincidence, if nothing more. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:36, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ah, Schadeberg mentions it. I'll add it. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:53, 15 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
