Etymology

From Aramaic עַרְבָּלָא / ܥܱܪܒܳܠܴܐ (ʿarbālā) (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic more commonly written אַרְבָּאלָא / אַרְבָּלָא (ʾarbālā), and also vocalized עַרְכְּלָא (ʿarbəlā), אַרְכְּלָא (ʾarbəlā)). Possible a culture-word left from the Hurrian period in Nuzi from which sieves have been excavated and where the Hurrian word 𒂊𒅕𒁁𒀉𒋼 (e-ir-be-et-te /⁠erbette⁠/) is found, said to be of uncertain meaning. Such an origin is also supported by Old Armenian խարբալեմ (xarbalem, to sift), Middle Armenian խարբալ (xarbal, sieve). (Neo-Babylonian 𒌒𒁄𒆷 (/⁠arballu⁠/, sieve) is from Aramaic.)
