Etymology

[edit]

The following is alleged to be the origin, in a perhaps not unequivocally reliable source[1]: Al-kiláb tanbah wa al-qáfila tasír.

Hebrew כלבים נובחים השיירה עוברת is in glosbe as "the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on", which it took from en wikt, it seems.

the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on currently states: "The saying is found in many languages from the MIddle East to India. In Turkish, it rhymes (it ürür, kervan yürür), suggesting that Turkish is the language of origin." --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:19, 19 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
