- a. 906, الناشئ الأكبر [an-nāšiʾ al-ʾakbar], كأنما الآل باعوا لها (first line)‎^[1]:
  كأنما الآل باعوا لها … سوائمٌ قد غابَ راعيها
  تتلع أحياناً أكمها … ثم تهاوى في مهاويها
  As though the family sold her … cattle of which the herder dashes
  Their hills at times can hold them … Then into their pits she crashes.
(obsolete) a vapor or exhalation that becomes visible in the desert in the morn or eve distinct from a سَرَاب (sarāb) by not reflecting

Etymology 2

Émile Benveniste claims that āl-γonak, the precursor of modern (âlgune), is attested and connects this to the Persian female name Ἀλογούνη (Alogoúnē) mentioned in Ctesias.^[1] Harold Walter Bailey suggests that this is a merger of two Proto-Iranian [Term?] roots, *āla- and *harda-, cf. Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬛𐬀 (harəda).^[2] Walther Hinz similarly posits Proto-Iranian *Hr̥da- from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewdʰ- (“red”) and suggests that this is the source of (âlu, “plum”) and (âloh, “eagle”),^[3] though the latter is also traced to a different Indo-European root. The link to Proto-Turkic *āl is likely coincidental, or otherwise the Turkic is from Iranian.
