Only C. SEM.
Cf. such probably derived terms as CAN: AMN bṭn, designation of an architectural element [HJ 151], and PHO bṭn 'embossement (?)' [T 45].
Cf. two ETH examples attested only in the languages most open to ARB influence: TGR bäṭǝn 'belly' [LH 300] and EAST: HAR bäṭni 'voracious' [LHar 48]; both examples are very likely ARB loan-words (see [ibid.]).
Obviously of ARB origin (cf. ARB baṭīn- 'ventru, qui a un gros ventre' [BK 1 138]) are MSA forms: MHR bǝṭáyn 'having a big belly' [JM 58], HRS beṭī́n 'having a full stomach' [JH 20], JIB ebṭín 'to have a big belly' [JJ 31]).
[DRS 60]: AMARNA, HBR, ARM, ARB, TGR, HAR (< ARB) (*baṭn-); [KB 121]: HBR, AMARNA, ARM, ARB, TGR (< ARB); [Brock 67]: SYR, JUD, HBR, ARB, AKK buṭnu 'interiora' (in fact meaning 'terebinth' [CAD b 358]). Cf. Arb. bʔṭ, Gez. baṭaṭa 'lie on the stomach' (Hbr Soq bṭḥ id.), Tgr Tna Amh 'lie down'
