گوگم

Etymology 1

From Ancient Greek κουκκούμιον (koukkoúmion), κούκκουμα (koúkkouma), from Classical Syriac ܩܘܿܩܡܳܐ (qūqəmā, pot), absolute state ܩܘܿܩܽܡ (qūqum), from Imperial Aramaic 𐡒𐡅𐡒𐡌 (qwqm), from Akkadian 𒂁𒆪𒆪𒁍 (/kukkubu, quqquba/, a smaller container used as an alabastron, libation jar, or drinking flask; originally a drinking pouch made from an animal’s stomach, any similar pouch with a small opening), suspected to have been loaned or developed from Sumerian 𒂁𒃻𒋫𒆸 (/gugguru/, tall earthen vessel with a narrow opening). Via Aramaic קוּמְקְמָא (qumqəmā, boiling kettle) it has also been borrowed into Latin cucuma (kettle, boiling-vessel), Arabic قُمْقُم (qumqum, bulbous flask with a neck used for dispersing perfume), and Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (KWKMʾ), Persian قمقمه (qomqome).
