  • rékob to sacrifice for the Immolation Day
etymology

By its form, this word looks an unquestionable Arabism, but no suitable source lexeme, either Classical or dialectal, has been found. The informants derive it from the Soqotri verb rékob (ḷe-) with a specialized meaning ‘to prepare sheep to be slaughtered for the Immolation day’ (CSOL I 635)
