خلر

خُلَّر (noun)

Etymology: Also found with metathesis in Jewish Babylonian Aramaic חורלא and Classical Syriac ܚܘܪܠܐ (ḥūrəlā, “a kind of Lathyrus”), and Hebrew חָרֻל (ḥārūl). Perhaps retaining the older order from Imperial Aramaic 𐡇𐡋𐡅𐡓 (ḥlwr /⁠ḥallūr⁠/, “1/40th of a shekel”, literally “bean”), used by the Achaemenids as its smallest monetary measure. From Akkadian 𒄬𒇻𒊒 (ḫallūru, ḫallāru, ḫillūru, ḫullūru /⁠ḫal-lu-ru⁠/, “chickpea; 1/10 shekel”), itself less likely to be of Semitic origin as the close pairing of /l/ and /r/ is not typical. Suggested ultimate Hurrian origin, possibly by way of Ugaritic 𒄷𒌌𒇻𒊒 (ḫu-ul-lu-ru), which is attested only in syllabic form. Compare Akkadian 𒄒 (/⁠šallūru⁠/, “plum”), another Hurrian loan into the Semitic family with the same pattern. Likely cognate also with Ancient Greek ὄλῡρᾰ (ólūră, “spelt; rice-wheat”) and κῠλλᾶστῐς (kŭllâstĭs, an Egyptian bread made from spelt), as well as Old Armenian ոլոռն (oloṙn, “pea”, > Armenian քըլուր (kʻəlur, “a kind of corn resembling oats”), խըլօր (xəlōr, “millet-sized hail; a kind of millet-sized useless grain”)), which may be derived from the same origin as the Akkadian through an Urartian intermediary.

Meaning: a Fabeae-tribe legume
