baˁīr: « camel, beast of burden » Grammatical form: n. m. Root:b-ˁ-r History of the word: Qur’an (2x) (12.65) ; (12.72). The twoqur’anic verses seemsdirectlyinspiredfrom the Bible, atitrefers to the same passage of the story of Joseph, Gn (45.17), wherewefind the sameHebrewwordbəˁīrḵem « yourbeasts ». According to A. Jeffery, the Prophet or hisinformantshadheardthatword in the history of Joseph, from a Jewish or Christian source. It wouldpassinto the Qur'ān and thengetspecializedwith the meaning of « camel », as itis the onlybeast of burden in Arabia. Joseph Horovitz p. 192, underlines the factthat in the Bible, itwas an « ass » as in Gn (44,3.13), and in the Qur'ānitbecame a « camel ». Origin: Common Semitic For the SED p. 73-75, itiscommonsemitic, as widelyspread in semiticlanguages. Othersemiticlanguages: Akk. bēr, bīr « young bull » (jeune taureau) ; Heb. bəˁīr ; Judeo.Aram.p. bəˁīr, Judeo.Aram.b. bəˁīrā’ « beast », Syr. bəˁīrā’.

ğalāᵓ: « exile » Grammatical form: n. m. Root:ğ-l-w/y « se manifester, apparaître, émigrer, s’exiler » History of the word: hapax legomenon Qur’an (59-3). In the Qur’ān, ğalāᵓisused in a Jewishcontext to describe the exodus of a Jewishtribe – the al-Naḍīr– driven out of the Prophet’sstrongholdsnear Medina. Sura 59 wasrevealedatthat occasion. In laterworks(Ibn Khaldūn and in IbnʿAṭiyya’sTafsīr), itisspelledbothğalāᵓ and ğalwa. The spellingwith-wa points to an orthographicborrowingfromAramaic, typical in the Qur’ān (as: zakawt / zakāt “alms”; ṣalaw / ṣalāt “prayer”; ḥayawt / ḥayāt “life ”). NeitherLane, norDozy, norKazimirskiincludedğalwa in theirlists. Re: http://bcrfj.revues.org/6643 Origin: Lexical borrowingfrom the Hebrewgōlā, gālūt, a concept specific to Judaism. Othersemiticlanguages: akk. galūcan. phén. glyhéb. gālāaram. gəlāar. ğalā « émigrer, s’exiler » Re: DRS, p. 120-121. GLW/Y.
