بَلُّوط
Arabic
Etymology
From Aramaic בְּלוּטָא / ܒܠܘܛܐ (bəllūṭā, ballūṭā, “oak; acorn”), further
- according to Löw an Aramaic formation from Aramaic בָלַט (bālaṭ, “to bulge out, to stand forth”), because of the nut having a protruding appearance, the pattern KaLLūM being common in Aramaic for fruits.
- possibly related to Akkadian 𒋾 (balāṭu, “to live, to stay or remain, to be enduring; to bring back to life, life-bringing trees or seeds”).
- potentially also Akkadian 𒄑𒁁𒀖 (be-lit, baluṭ, “a strong tree, bearing edible produce, sustainable in more northerly fringes of the Assyrian Empire”) found in the vicinity of Harran mentioned during the reign of Sargon II, the more typical word for oak being 𒀠𒆷𒀭 (ʾallānu, alyānu, “oak; acorn”) from Sumerian 𒄑𒀠𒆷𒈝 (allanum, “oak; acorn, acorn-shaped”). Compare Aramaic אִילָנָא, Classical Syriac ܐܺܝܠܳܢܳܐ (ʾīlānā, “tree”), Hebrew אֵלָה (ʾelā, “terebinth”), Hebrew אֵילִים (ēlīm, “mighty tree”), Hebrew אֵלֹון (elōn, “great tree”), Hebrew אַלּוֹן (allōn, “great tree; oak”).
(further cognates):
- comparable to Middle Persian blwt' (balūt, “acorn, oak-nut”), Mazanderani پلت (palat, “maple, poplar”), Northern Kurdish berrû, belû, dialectal Turkish bolut, pelüt, palıt, pölüt, pelit, pilit etc., Azerbaijani palıd, dialectal palut, Uzbek balut, Turkish palamut / پلاموت, pelit / پلیت, pelid / پلید, Chagatai (pälütʼʼ), all meaning the oak and/or its nut. The borrowing directions cannot be ascertained.
- to be distinguished from the fish-names Greek παλαμύδα (palamýda), παλαμίδα (palamída) from Ancient Greek πᾱλᾰμῠ́ς (pālămŭ́s) / πηλᾰμῠ́ς (pēlămŭ́s) and its numerous descendants meaning Sarda sarda (Atlantic bonito).
- whereas Venetan palamita, Serbo-Croatian palàmīda / пала̀мӣда, Byzantine Greek παλαμύδα (palamúda) / παλαμίδα (palamída), Greek παλαμύδι (palamýdi) / παλαμίδι (palamídi), Romanian pălămidă mean the creeping thistle Serratula arvensis L. which looks at its top similar to the acorn.
