A borrowing from an unknown, possibly Anatolian source, cf. Hesychian Ancient Greekκάπια(kápia, “onions”) claimed for Ceryneia and the complex of Arabicقُبَّعَة(qubbaʕa, “bulbous hat”). Given the borrowing of Proto-Slavic*lukъ(“onion”), it is probable that the Italians at the date of their expansion also only knew ramsons, as a kind of ālium. At least it is known that spring onion was only introduced in the modern period from China, while the bulb onion is also Asiatic, such that ancient Africa knew the cultivated onion only in the north, by generic names like Egyptianḥḏw, it having expanded beyond the Great Desert only by the Arabs under their name بَصَل(baṣal).

En eso y en que tampoco parecen de momento muy alarmados los ciudadanos de una de las capitales financieras del mundo por la aparición en su país de una nueva cepa del coronavirus, con mayor poder de contagio.
Besides this, the citizens of one of the world's largest financial capitals don't seem very concerned with the appearance of a new strain of the coronavirus in their country, one with greater contagious power.
