I assume Hebrew פיל and Aramaic פילא are descendants? (I think there's also an Arabic cognate, but I've never studied Arabic, so I'm not sure.) These pages, when they have etymology sections, tend to say unknown. If you're sure about this etymology, could you please update the list and fix all the etymologies? Thanks so much! --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't say I do know - the etymology section came across from the older version of this page. It's expunded in detail on the Akkadian page here. I can't judge its accuracy - though the sample passage makes me a little suspiscious

Hrmmm. Not sure what to do with that. Thanks anyway! --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 23:48, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
