    Etymology 3

    If it is true that the bay laurel has dispersed over the Mediterranean regions from further west, be it Asia Minor or even Western Europe, then the Arabic plant name غَار (ḡār) has been borrowed in the earlier 1st millennium BC or before from Aramaic עָרָא / ܥܳܪܳܐ (ʿārā), also Hebrew עָר (ʿār), of the same meaning, the merger of /ʁ/ and /ʕ/ not having happened in Northwest Semitic yet—if not old enough to be ascribed to Proto-West Semitic unity.

    Noun

    غَار (ḡārm (collective, singulative غَارَة f (ḡāra))

    1. bay laurel (Laurus nobilis); laurel (Laurus gen.)
      Synonyms: رَنْد (rand), دَهْمَسْت (dahmast)
