Persian

Alternative forms

  • گوال (guvâl)

Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ywbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (jwbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (jwʾl).[1][2][3] The last two have been alternatively read as [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwʾl).

Further origin disputed. Perhaps from Old Iranian [Term?] *yawa-barθra-, a compound of *yáwah (barley; cereal, grain) with a derivative of *bárati (to bear).[2] Alternatively, we are dealing with verbal forms related to Persian گوالیدن (guvâlidan, to grow, to increase).[4]

See Arabic شَلَّاق (šallāq) and جُلّ (jull) for related forms.
