How to say "longing, nostalgia (for a place or time)" in Arabic

Root ح-ن-ن / ח-נ-ן carries a warm inclination toward someone in both languages, but the two sides took different paths: Hebrew חנן/חנינה settled on grace freely given (favor, pardon), while Arabic ḥanna became the tug of missing what you're not near. Klein connects the two roots — a favor extended and an ache to return both start from the same 'warm pull' — but the meanings themselves have drifted apart, so treat this as a shared root, not a direct match.
