Etymology
تَناوُل is the verbal noun of the Form VI verb تَناوَلَ, built on the triliteral root ن-و-ل. That root's basic Form I verb, نالَ / يَنالُ, means 'to attain, reach, or obtain.' Form VI adds a reflexive, self-directed sense, so تَناوَلَ came to mean 'to take for oneself, partake of, or handle,' and its noun تَناوُل covers both eating food and addressing a subject. This is a native Semitic root, not tied to any Indo-European root.
