  1. ^ Sokoloff, Michael (2002) A Dictionary of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic of the Talmudic and Geonic periods, Ramat Gan: Bar Ilan University, page 661a, followed by CAL, who sloppily deny it for the Jewish Babylonian Aramaic headword מַטְרְתָא (maṭərṯā) because of the difference between a dry measure and a liquid measure, although both uses are well seen in Arabic, had they looked into Dozy, who treats the semantic range extensively, however could not derive from Aramaic since its diffusion into Arabic was only worked out in that decade by Fraenkel. The formal match between the Greek and the Arabic however is, though Corriente and colleagues 2019 find metanalysis in either Aramaic and Arabic plausible, more credibly made if Aramaic mediation of the Arabic word is assumed, which means their argument fails to consider that we miss a part of the historical semantic range of the Aramaic word. Note that for the plural alone Freytag 1837, glossing, at the wrong headword مَطَر (maṭar, “rain”), more generally vasa (“vessels”), for two occurrences referenced in his dictionary, speaks of a vox peregrina (“foreign word”). To secure peregrine origin of the present Arabic term, we can add that there is no trace in the Yemeni dialect at the appropriate place in Piamenta, Moshe (1991) Dictionary of Post-Classical Yemeni Arabic, Leiden: Brill, →ISBN, page 468b.
