Etymology 3

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (wšʾq /⁠wašaq⁠/), [Book Pahlavi needed] (wšq /⁠wašaq⁠/), attested at least thrice in Book Pahlavi and once in Classical Syriac ܘܣܩܐ (wasqā), once in Classical Mandaic ࡀࡅࡎࡒࡀ (wasqā),[1] denoting in each case a kind of ceremonial drink employed by Zoroastrians in place of wine, which matches gum ammoniac as this was employed in antiquity for its emollient, swelling-atoning and limb-pain-relieving effect,[2] and apparently the drink was called after ammoniacum it was composed of,[1] as the later Classical Persian وشه (wuša) and اشه (uša) and the Arabic are known to mean gum ammoniac, and one finds a Byzantine Greek οὐσάκ (ousák) glossed as ammoniacum.[3]
The measure of the Arabic word is also KaLaM, not only KuLLaM.
