etymology

Leslau (LS 309) compares Arb. ˁlb ‘to make a notch, to scratch’. A more more suitable match, however, may be found in Syr. ˁlb ‘vicit, superavit; injuria affecit, oppressit; privavit’, JPA ˁlbn ‘humiliation, insult’, JBA ˁulbānā ‘injustice’ and, eventually, Arb. γlb ‘to overcome, to subdue; to take or obtain by superior power or force’. Note Tna. ˁelbo ‘foreskin’.
