Perspectives phraséologiques et étymologiques (in French), Berlin: De Gruyter, →ISBN, page 1147 makes the claim of the Arabic being from OSA 𐩡𐩵𐩬 (ldn), in spite of even some Aramaic forms obviously being from Greek, and which is incompatible with the presence of ذ (ḏ) in the Arabic form, as noted by Sima, Alexander (2000) Tiere, Pflanzen, Steine und Metalle in den altsüdarabischen Inschriften (in German), Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz, →ISBN, page 273 footnote 58, who opts for a Greek borrowing into Arabic.
