Punic, the language of the ancient Carthaginians, is a Semitic language closely related to Phoenician. Unfortunately, much of the Punic vocabulary and grammar is not well-documented due to the limited extent of historical records. Consequently, providing a direct translation for "outsider" in Punic is challenging.

If the concept of "outsider" is important in a specific context (like a stranger, foreigner, or someone not belonging to a particular group), I would recommend looking at scholarly works on ancient Semitic languages or consulting with an expert in Punic. They could provide more accurate insights and potential translations in the context you need.

While there isn't a direct and well-documented translation of the word "outsider" in Punic due to the limited extant vocabulary and resources, we can infer approximate meanings based on related Semitic languages like Hebrew and Phoenician (from which Punic is derived).

In a general sense, the concept of an "outsider" can be represented by words suggesting "stranger" or "foreigner." For example, the Hebrew word for "stranger" is "גֵּר" (ger), which could have been used similarly in Punic.

Additionally, scholars have reconstructed some vocabulary in Punic, but exact translations can often vary depending on context. If we consider related terms, "foreign" can sometimes be translated as "נכרי" (nokhri) in Hebrew, which might have a corresponding term in Punic.

For precise usage, it's best to consult academic resources specializing in ancient languages or Punic specifically.
