HaNSC: Translation of h- tmny "the Teymanite" (al-taymāniyy)
Commentary
The nisba tmny occurs once in LP 1195. The edition connects it to the city of Taymāʾ, and translates it as "the Taymanite". One could also connect the nisbah to tīman,"the distant regions of Yemen." The Lisān states the following: and if their origins were the Tīman (the distant regions of Yemen), then they said tīmaniyy (wa iḏā nasabū ilā 'l-tīman (ʾufuq al-yaman), fa qālū tīmaniyy). Thus, the nisbah tmny could also be translated as "the Yemenite".
