Hijazi Arabic

جَوَّال

Etymology

From Arabic جَوَّال‎ (jawwāl); from the root ج و ل‎ (j-w-l), جوّل‎ “to wander”.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /d͡ʒaˈwːaːl/.

Noun

جَوَّال • (jawwāl) m (plural جَوَّالات‎ (jawwālāt))

1. cell phone, mobile phone

---

Persian

Alternative forms

• گوال‎ (guvāl)

Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ywbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (jwbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (jwʾl).[1][2][3] The last two have been alternatively read as [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwʾl).

Further origin disputed. Perhaps from Old Iranian *yawa-barθra-, a compound of *yáwah (“barley; cereal, grain”) with a derivative of *bárati (“to bear”).[2] Alternatively, we are dealing with verbal forms related to Persian گوالیدن‎ (guvālidan, “to grow, to increase”).[4]

See Arabic شَلَّاق‎ (šallāq) and جُلّ‎ (jull) for related forms.

Noun

جوال • (juvāl)

1. large sack
2. cloth for sacks
