Etymology

A Classical Syriac borrowing: compare Classical Syriac ܚܘܠܕܐ‎ (ḥuldā, “mole”), ܚܠܕܘܕܐ‎ (ḥalḏūḏā, ḥaləḏūḏā, “field mouse or jerboa”),[1] ܚܠܘܕܐ‎ (ḥallūḏā, ḥālūḏā, “field mouse or jerboa”), ܚܠܕܝܬܐ‎ (ḥalāḏīṯā, “gangrene, canker”) (attested in the same passages of Aphrahat as խլիրդն (xlirdn), խլրդենի (xlrdeni, “gangrene, canker”)), all from the root ܚ-ܠ-ܕ‎ (ḥ-l-d) related to crawling. See also խլրտամ (xlrtam).

Usage notes
  • In the Bible, translates Ancient Greek ἀσπάλαξ (aspálax).
  • The passage in Arcruni alludes to Leviticus 11.30 which refers to mice and moles as unclean animals.
  • Some dictionaries postulate a nominative *խլուրդն (*xlurdn) based on the genitive խլրդան (xlrdan), but it could be the genitive of the form խլիրդն (xlirdn) attested as a variant reading of the sense "gangrene, canker".
