جَريب

جَرِيب (noun)

Etymology: Borrowed from Aramaic גְּרִיוָא (gəriwā), גְּרִיבָא (gəriḇā), ܓܪܝܻܒܳܐ (gəriḇā, “a dry measure; a measure of land”), from Imperial Aramaic 𐡂𐡓𐡉𐡅 (gryw), of Old Iranian origin, Middle Persian [script needed] (glyw' /⁠griw⁠/), Parthian [script needed] (gryw' /⁠griw⁠/), also found in Old Armenian գրիւ (griw), probably unrelated to the homonymous Iranian words for “neck; throat” but likely related to Proto-Indo-Iranian *grabʰ (“to grab, to seize”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrebʰ- (compare the Sanskrit root ग्रभ् (grabh)), if this is not the same word as treated under جِرَاب (jirāb) denoting a kind of bag, see there.

Meaning: a dry measure for grain, peck; a division of cropland, a certain square measure varying between country and period, jerib, as much as can be sown from the grain measure
