Petition addressed to @coe.int to clarify what the CEFR means by 'standard' and whether the term refers solely and exclusively to normative [Modern Standard] Arabic, or else to any native Arabic in relation to its more unique/less common varieties.

Another Lebanese Arabic loanword:
بَنّد، تْبَنَّد
bannad, tbannad
to ban, to get banned
e.g.:
bannadūni 3a Facebook
tbannad ḥsēbi 3a Insta
What’s cool about it is that it’s borrowed from the past tense form of the English verb "to ban" in order to get the productive trilateral root b n d!
بَنّد، تْبَنَّد
bannad, tbannad
to ban, to get banned
e.g.:
bannadūni 3a Facebook
tbannad ḥsēbi 3a Insta

I can't see how this meaning could've developed from the Arabic root to be honest.
In Italian, they say "andare in tilt" to express a similar meaning..
So I guess this word might come from the TILT error mechanism in pinball machines! When triggered, the whole machine stops working! Wild if true!
