Iranian *ādranga- undergoes assimilation of n- in Aramaic, a phenomenon documented since Old Aramaic and present everywhere in Official Aramaic.
“The first change that Iranian * ādranga - undergoes in Aramaic is the already mentioned assimilation of n -, a phenomenon well documented since Old Aramaic and present everywhere in Official Aramaic”
From From Iranian to Greek via Aramaic: A Proposal for 'odrogos' (Metropolis, Ionia) (2025) · cites this paper as Folmer 2011
Section 3.2, “Consonants” (page unavailable), describes assimilation of syllable-final */n/ before a consonant in Old Aramaic and says the evidence strongly suggests it was also assimilated in Imperial Aramaic. The passages do not identify Iranian *ādranga- or establish that this particular loanword underwent the change, and they do not document the phenomenon in every Official Aramaic setting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
