Definition

Etymology :It is the science that studies the origin of words, as far as possible

back in the past, until what we called : the etymological root, the base from which derives the word.

The origin can be of 3 types:- the natural evolution of the word- borrowing from another language - Proper development : neologism

baˁīr:  « camel, beast of burden »

Grammatical form: n. m.Root: b-ˁ-rHistory of the word: Qur’an (2x) (12.65) ; (12.72).The two qur’anic  verses seems directly inspired from the Bible, at it refers to the same 

passage of the story of Joseph, Gn (45.17), where we find the same Hebrew word bəˁīrḵem « your beasts ». 

According to A. Jeffery, the Prophet or his informants had heard that word in the history of Joseph, from a Jewish or Christian source. It would pass into the Qur'ān and then get specialized with the meaning of « camel », as it is the only beast of burden in Arabia. Joseph Horovitz p. 192, underlines the fact that in the Bible, it was an « ass » as in Gn (44,3.13), and in the Qur'ān it became a « camel ».

Origin: Common SemiticFor the SED p. 73-75, it is common semitic, as widely spread in semitic languages.

Other semitic languages:  Akk. bēr, bīr « young bull » (jeune taureau) ; Heb. bəˁīr  ; Judeo.Aram.p.   bəˁīr, Judeo.Aram.b.  bəˁīrā’ 

« beast », Syr. bəˁīrā’.  South Arabian bˁr « beast, particularly cames » (bétail, en particulier chameaux). It is not attested in Ugaritic

ğalāᵓ :  « exile »

Grammatical form: n. m.Root: ğ-l-w/y « se manifester, apparaître, émigrer, s’exiler »

History of the word: hapax legomenon Qur’an (59-3).In the Qur’ān, ğalāᵓ is used in a Jewish context to describe the exodus of a Jewish tribe – the al-Naḍīr

– driven out of the Prophet’s strongholds near Medina. Sura 59 was revealed at that occasion. In later works (Ibn Khaldūn and in IbnʿAṭiyya’s Tafsīr), it is spelled both ğalāᵓ and ğalwa. The spelling 

with -wa points to an orthographic borrowing from Aramaic, typical in the Qur’ān (as: zakawt / zakāt “alms”; ṣalaw / ṣalāt “prayer”; ḥayawt / ḥayāt “life ”).

Neither Lane, nor Dozy, nor Kazimirski included ğalwa in their lists.Re: http://bcrfj.revues.org/6643 

Origin: Lexical borrowing from the Hebrew gōlā, gālut, a concept specific to Judaism.

Other semitic languages: akk. galū can. phén. gly héb. gālā aram. gəlā ar. ğalā « émigrer, s’exiler »Re: DRS, p. 120-121. GLW/Y.

Grammatical form: adj.

Root: ᵓĞĞ, ağğa : être ardent (feu), courir (autruche), être saumâtre (eau)

History of the word: Qur’an (3x) (25-53; 35-12; 56-70)

uğāğ relates to saltwater of the sea that opposes to fresh water.

Origin: Arabic dev.References: Zammit p. 69 ; DRS ;

Other semitic languages: 1.akk. agâgu « être enflammé, être en colère » ; arab. Ağğa « être ardent (feu) » 2. arab. « être

amère, saumâtre (eau) »References: DRS
