Etymology 2

[edit]

Phono-semantic matching of Aramaic שׁכרונא / ܫܲܟܪܘܿܢܵܐ (šaḵrōnā, henbane), however not belonging to the root cognate to the Arabic root س ك ر (s-k-r). Derived instead from Akkadian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /⁠šakirû⁠/, a plant, drug), ultimately a loan from Sumerian 𒌑𒅫 (U2.ŠAKIR /⁠šakir⁠/, a plant, drug). Found also in the doublet of شَوْكَرَان (šawkarān, hemlock) that is considered the Persian descendant.
