يلب

يَلَب (noun)

Etymology: Apparently borrowed from Aramaic חלבא / ܚܠܒܐ (ḥelbā, “fatty tissue, omentum, membrane, diaphragm”), native Semitic cognate to the Arabic خ ل ب (ḵ l b) and خ ل ف (ḵ l f), compare س ل ب (s l b) and س ل ف (s l f), in a regiolect and chronolect where the distinction of /ʔ/, /ʕ/, /ħ/ and /j/ was already degenerated and the word bore the latter sound, as is the case for Arabic يَافُوخ (yāfūḵ) and Old Armenian յիմար (yimar). Some more general clothing names have been derived from these two root formulas in Semitic, and in particular the same Aramaic source lays claim to Old Armenian հալաւ (halaw, “garment”).

Meaning: skin of the back of a wild beast; leather or felt war-gear, soft field accoutrements (armour as well as shields, and possibly helmets)
