balīlag[edit]
Is it a coincidence that this word is so similar to Arabic بَلِيلَج (balīlaj, “beleric myrobalan”) from Middle Persian [script needed] (balīlag) from which also Classical Syriac ܒܠܺܝܠܩܳܐ (bəlīlqā)[1][2]? From the Arabic comes[3] the taxonomic Latin bellericus, belliricus, beliricus belircus, belericus, from the same source Chinese 毗黎勒 (pílílè). @Profes.I.. ALGloss[4] has seen the similarity and mushed them into one entry and Löw mentions them close to each other too. Fay Freak (talk) 17:45, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
اطریفل[edit]
I see they must be kept apart and are but remotely related. Though apparently from the Arabic language area on the distinction got somewhat confused, one widely used and uses in India a tripartite drug called in Persian اطریفل (itrīfal)[5][6] and in Urdu ترپھلہ, ترپھلا (tirphalā) and in Telugu త్రిఫలము (triphalamu) and and in Tamil திரிபலா (tiripalā) and in Sanskrit त्रिफला (triphalā) and after it in English triphala, composed of three myrobalans, in Persian هلیله و بلیله و آمله (halīla u balīla u āmla), Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellirica, Phyllanthea emblica. Maybe this will become a translation table appendix, or somehow one needs to collect the terms, else the broad picture gets lost. Fay Freak (talk) 01:25, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
