erayga marti

[Samadoor]

my understanding is that the word marti stems from 2 words
first off marti means guest in english.

mar- once
tix-consider
tix comes from tixgeli- to consider something

so marti is a shortened 'mar-tix' which means to consider once or ever so often as guests aren't a common daily consideration amongst households.
mar uun baa la tixaa martida waana markey yimadan.

 

[ina-cilmi]

thought it came from

mar = to pass by

with the ending bit " ti " signifying a person

so a passerby, i.e. a guest who isnt there to stay

yeah someone who's passing by should be more accurate

could be both tbh but yours might be more correct since the past tense is
martiyey.
