ساجور
Arabic
Etymology
Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܣܳܓܽܘܪܳܐ (sāgūrā, “enclosure; chain for the neck”). The Syriac is
- either from ܣܓܰܪ (sgar, “to close, to shut up”) which possibly corresponds to Arabic شَجَرَ (šajara, “to tie up”)
- or from Akkadian 𒄑𒋛𒃻 (/sigaru, šigaru/, “neckstock, wooden collar”) from Sumerian 𒄑𒋛𒃻 (/sigaru/, “lock”) if the Sumerian is not from Akkadian, whence also the hapax Hebrew סוּגַר (sūgar, “neckstock”) Ezek 19:9 is said to be, which could however also be from Hebrew סָגַר (sāgar, “to close, to shut up”) which corresponds to Aramaic סְגַר / ܣܓܰܪ (sgar, “to close, to shut up”) and possibly Arabic شَجَرَ (šajara, “to tie up”). Compare Hebrew סָגוּר (sāgūr) Job 41:7; it is conceivable that
- only Hebrew סוּגַר (sūgar, “neckstock”) Ezek 19:9 is borrowed while the forms sāgūr are native Northwest Semitic or
- Hebrew סוּגַר (sūgar, “neckstock”) Ezek 19:9 is a misspelling of Hebrew סָגוּר (sāgūr) and all the Hebrew is native
- Hebrew סוּגַר (sūgar, “neckstock”) Ezek 19:9 is a misspelled *סִיגַר (*sīgar) borrowed from Akkadian and the forms sāgūr are native Northwest Semitic.
