Jemena

Jemena f sg (genitive Jemenae); first declension

1. Alternative spelling of Iemena (“Yemen”)

First-declension noun, singular only.

Via other European languages, ultimately apparently borrowed from Arabic [script needed] (yaman, “right side”), since the country is located in the south of the Arabian Peninsula (note that, when facing sunrise, the south is to one's right).
