گاومیش · جَامُوس — water buffalo

Persian → ArabicCertainnoun · Nature · common

This one went the other way: from Persian into Arabic.

Arabic

جَامُوس
jāmūs

/dʒaːmuːs/

In Arabic

water buffalo

Persian

گاومیش
gāvmiš

/ɡɒvmiʃ/

In Persian

water buffalo

Spelling. Arabic writes g as j and š as s, and contracted gāv-mēš 'cow-sheep' to jāmūs.
