براهمة
Arabic
Etymology
Ultimately derived from Sanskrit ब्राह्मण (brā́hmaṇa). In a pseudo-etymology by Muslim scholars, it was said to come from the same root as إِبْرَاهِيم (ʔibrāhīm, “Abraham”) in order to indicate an Abrahamic origin for Vedantic monotheism/monism and to categorise Hindus as People of the Book.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ba.raː.hi.ma/
Noun
بَرَاهِمَة • (barāhima) ?
- (Hinduism, Vedanta, Vedic religion) a collective term for the brahmin caste
