How to say "point, dot" in Arabic

Hebrew nequda and Arabic nuqṭa look like an exact match — both mean 'dot, point', and both got extended to the marks that show vowels in each script (niqqud / iʿjām). But the final consonant doesn't quite line up (ד where ط's regular partner would be ט), so this isn't a straight inherited cognate: the word likely spread between the languages, probably via Aramaic ܢܩܘܕܬܐ.
