Fried wrote. I see the Arabic root MTN listed in "An Advanced Learner's
Arabic-English Dictionary" by H. Anthony Salmone, on page 951 (40). He says
there that MTN is: Stayed, Abode in. Also: Was firm. Also:
Back.
--------------------------------------------------------- Ishinan: I am sorry, but in this case, your authority, Mr. "Habib Anthony Salmone" is grossly mistaken. See full range of meanings below from original Classical Arabic sources (*), none of them refers to the sense of stay, abode or even remotely related to the sense of 'city" madiynah . If you
don't read Arabic, then I suggest you better use the Arabic-English lexicon / by
Edward William Lane (v .II p. 3017), It is far more reliable.

Ishinan Ishibashi * متن (الصّحّاح في اللغة)
المَتْنُ من الأرض: ما صلُب وارتفع، والجمع متانٌ ومُتونٌ. قال: والقومُ قد طعنوا مِتانَ السَجْسَجِ ومَتُنَ الشيء بالضم متانَةً، فهو مَتينٌ، أي صلبٌ. ومَتْنا الظَهْرِ: مُكْتَنَفا الصُلْبِ عن يمينٍ وشمالٍ من عصب ولحم، يذكَّر ويؤنَّث. ومَتَنْتُ الرجلَ مَتْناً: ضربت مَتْنَهُ. ومَتْنُ السهم: ما دون الرِيش منه إلى وسطه. ويقال أيضاً: رجلٌ مَتْنٌ من الرجال، أي صُلبٌ. ومَتَنَ به مَتْناً: سار به يومَه أجمع. والمُماتَنَةُ: المباعدة في الغاية. يقال: سار سيراً مُماتِناً، أي شديداً. وماتَنَهُ، أي ماطله. ومَتَنْتُ الكبشَ: شققت صُفْنه واستخرجت بيضتَه بعُروقها. وتَمْتينُ القوس بالعَقَبِ، والسِقاءِ بالرُّبِّ: شدُّه وإصلاحه بذلك |
