nutye' (olive tree): The reverse, *'eytun*, is in the middle of *aceituna*, the Spanish word for "olive".
The Spanish word comes from Arabic, in which it is "zeytun" (also borrowed into Persian, Turkish, and a number of other languages). I believe the Hebrew word is close as well (something like "zayit"). -- De'vID
