شلاق

شَلَّاق (noun)

Etymology: Has been identified with Jewish Babylonian Aramaic סַלָּקוּתָא (sallaqūṯā) which occurs in some obscure context in Terumot 8 from which one can only derive that it is a kind of container. Ancient Greek σάλαξ (sálax, “miner’s sieve”) has been suggested for this word. It has also been related to Old Armenian շալակ (šalak). Compare also how the meaning “to beg“ of شَحَذَ (šaḥaḏa) is suspected to be from Aramaic.
Probably of Iranian origin, cognate to Persian شالاق (šâlâq, “rag”), جولخ (jôlax, “mendicant’s woolen cloth; cloth for saddle-bags”), جوال (jovâl), گوال (govâl, “sack”), Arabic جُوَالَق (juwālaq, “sack, bag”), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic גְּוָאלְקָא (gwālqā, “sack”), Classical Syriac ܓܘܵܠܩܵܐ (gwālqā, “sack”), Baluchi [script needed] (gwaləg, “flour-sack made of goat-hair”), Southern Kurdish گۆوال (gowal, “sack”), Central Kurdish گەوال (gewal, “sack”), Zazaki şelag (“sack”), Southern Kurdish شوول (şûl, “sack”); compare also the forms at Arabic جُلّ (jull, “horse-covering, saddle-cloth”).

Meaning: beggar’s knapsack
