etymology

The botanical designation žirέmeʰ is to be derived from PWS *garm- ‘bone’, alluding to the big stone characteristic of the Ziziphus fruit, cf. especially Arb. ǯarām-. The verb górim ‘to gather Ziziphus fruit’ is certainly denominative. Contra LS 116, there is hardly any direct connection between górim and Arb. ǯrm ‘to cut off the dates’.
