    We say Sindia pronounced Səndia in my Neo-Aramaic dialect. A loan from colloquial Iraqi Arabic. I believe the etymology is Arabic for "from Sind", a region in Pakistan.

    In most cases word includes "arb/arab".
    In many cases there are "arp" or "arv" instead because letter "b" sounds similar to "p" or "v".
