From the root ق ر ط ل(q-r-ṭ-l) meaning “a packsaddle”, “a basket or bag intended for provisions”, from Aramaicקרטל(qarṭāl, “basket”) (Christian spelling ܩܪܛܠܐ), which could be:
derived from Middle Persianglyw'(grīw, “a measure of grain, a peck”) + -dʾl(dār, “holder, keeper, container of”).
This must also be the name for “more than one of the highly succulent salt marsh chenopods that are considered poor grazing for camels” like Bienertia cycloptera and Suaeda aegyptiaca Mandaville records from various Najdi tribes as هَرْطَلَّس(harṭallas), هَطَلَّس(hatạllas), هَرْطَبِيل(harṭabīl), هُرْطُمَان(hurṭumān), طَرْطَيع(ṭartēʕ), هَطْلَس(haṭlas) but curiously describes as seemingly involving a quinqueliteral root.
