Although folk etymology is a common linguistic phenomenon, it has hitherto hardly been touched upon in lexicological and other works related to varieties of Neo-Aramaic. The present article concerns twelve cases of folk etymology selected from some of the dialects of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA), the largest and most variegated division of modern Aramaic. Among these are three folk-etymological interpretations that did not induce structural or other changes, as well as nine cases of folk-etymological processes that reshaped NENA lexical items.

东北新亚拉姆方言的民间词源

尽管民间词源是一种常见的语言现象，但迄今为止，在词法学和与新阿拉姆语的变体有关的其他著作中几乎没有涉及到民间词源。本文涉及从东北新阿拉姆语（NENA）的某些方言中选出的十二种民间词源案例，东北新阿拉姆语是现代阿拉姆语中规模最大，变化最大的部分。其中有三种没有引起结构或其他变化的民间语源解释，以及九种改变了NENA词汇项目的民间语源过程。
