| comment | The phrase was identified by Praetorius 1879:297 with Gez. DTW 212 connects bərät of Amh. yä-ayn bərät with bərät 'iron', the pupil of the eye being compared with polished iron that reflects an image (CDG 99). |

| lexeme 1 | bənt | |
| lexeme 2 | bənta ˁayn | |
| meaning 1 | daughter | |
| direction | → | |
| meaning 2 | pupil of the eye, eyeball (lit. 'daughter of the eye') | |

| comment | This is the only example in Geez where Semitic bənt 'daughter' is used. Noeldeke 1910:135, n.5 thinks that bənta ˁayn is taken from Arb. bintu-l-ˁayn (for more see CDG 99). |
