Arabic

nwf - to overlook, to overtop (LA 9 407)

Likely ultimately related to this root (originally “to swing over something”?): Kogan 2015:566.

PWS

*nwp - to swing (Kogan 2015:566)

The meaning of Akk. nâpu, translated as ‘schwanken’ in AHw. 742, is highly uncertain (cf. CAD N₁ 327) which makes its comparison rather problematic (Kogan 2015:566).
