سخل
Arabic
Etymology
As in some Bedouin dialects also with the first consonant emphatic (صَحَل (ṣaḥal), maybe from Sanskrit छागल (chāgala), छाग (chāga, “goat”), but in an original meaning of a newborn kid, with the meanings of “imperfect” dates or anything imperfect transferred, and from the brutal process of birth a denominal verb “taking or driving out by force”; though Freytag compares to خَسَلَ (ḵasala, “to reject, to cast out”), خُسَّل (ḵussal, “debile, vile”), which he relates further to حِسْل (ḥisl, “young of a spiny tailed lizard”), حَسِيل (ḥasīl, “bull calves; flock of cows”), حَسَلَ (ḥasala, “to propel vehemently”), which also contains a shape حُسَالَة (ḥusāla, “rejected or filed off things; dregs”) mirroring سُخَالَة (suḵāla, “rejected parts of things”), over which he leads us to well-known حُثَالَة (ḥuṯāla, “dregs, refuse of any crop”), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic מַתְחֲלָא (maṯḥălā, “calyx surrounding the date in its early state, or spathe of a date-palm”), Ancient Greek μᾰσχᾰ́λη (maskhálē, “axil, hollow at the base of a shoot; branch, young palm twig”). In view of خ ث ث (ḵ-ṯ-ṯ) there could be an original biconsonantal base.
