Etymology

From Aramaic דַּלְקֻבֵּל (dalqūḇel, literally “that which is against”). See also ܒܲܪܩܘܼܒ݂ܠ (barquḇl, “against, opposite (physically)”). The pronunciation with /r/ rather than /l/ may be due to influence from the Kurdish loanword ܒܵܪܵܐ (bārā, “side”).

Pronunciation

• (Standard) IPA^(key): [dal.quːvl.]
• (Nineveh Plains) IPA^(key): [dar.qul.]
• (Urmia) IPA^(key): [dar.quːl.]
