Arabic

[edit]
سِوَار

Etymology

[edit]

Though Fraenkel assumed that the Arabic word is genuine and not a loan, likely a perhaps early loan from a byform of Aramaic שֵׁירָא / ܫܶܐܪܳܐ (šērā), see the exposure at ش ج ر (š-j-r). Juxtapose قُلْب (qulb, bracelet) for a Syriac loan. Compare also دُمْلُوج (dumlūj).
