query: what is the meaning of abba in hebrew

pos: Ab (Semitic) Ab (Semitic) Ab or Av (related to Akkadian "abu"), sometimes Abba, means "father" in most Semitic languages. Ab (أَب), from a theoretical, abstract form (آبَاءٌ "ʼabawun") (triliteral ʼ-b-w) is Arabic for "father". The dual is (أَبَوَانِ "ʼabawāni") or (أَبَانِ "ʼabāni") "two fathers" or "mother and father" (آبَاءِكَ "ʼābāʼi-ka" meaning "thy parents"). "Li-llāhi ʼabū-ka" للهِ أَبُوكَ) is an expression of praise, meaning "to God is attributable [the excellence of] your father". As a verb, " ʼ-b-w" means "to become [as] a father to [somebody]" ("ʼabawtu") or "to adopt [him] as a father" ("ta'abbā-hu" or "ista'bā-hu"). In the construct state, Abū (أبو)

pos: Ab (Semitic) lives, in the family context. Indeed, the usage of "abba" in Galatians 3:22-4:7 suggests that "abba" "asserts not childlike relation to God, but the privileged status of the adult son (not daughter) and heir". The name Barabbas in the New Testament comes from the Aramaic phrase "Bar Abba" meaning "son of the father". "Av" (, "Av" "ʾĀḇ" "Abba"; related to Akkadian "abu"; "father" ; plural: "Avot" or "Abot") means "father" in Hebrew. The exact meaning of the element "ab" (אב) or "abi" (אבי) in Hebrew personal names (such as Ab-ram, Ab-i-ram, Ah-ab, Jo-ab) is a matter of dispute. The identity

pos: Manx language Some religious terms come ultimately from Latin, Greek and Hebrew, e.g. "casherick" (holy), from the Latin "consecrātus"; "mooinjer" (people) from the Latin "monasterium" (originally a monastery; "agglish" (church) from the Greek "ἐκκλησία" ("ekklesia", literally meaning assembly) and "abb" (abbot) from the Hebrew "אבא" ("abba", meaning "father"). These did not necessarily come directly into Manx, but via Old Irish. In more recent times, "ulpan" has been borrowed from modern Hebrew. Many Irish and English loanwords also have a classical origin, e.g. "çhellveeish" (Irish "teilefís") and "çhellvane" meaning television and telephone respectively. Foreign language words (usually known via English) are used occasionally

The phrase "Abba, Father" is repeated in Romans 8:15 and Galatians 4:6. In Aramaic, it would be אבא.
