ܦܝܠܣܐ

Assyrian Neo-Aramaic

Etymology

Ultimately derived from Ancient Greek φιάλη (phiálē). Either inherited from Aramaic פִּילָסָא (pīlāsā, “saucer”) or possibly from ܦܝܠܐܣ (p̄īyālas), the irregular plural form of ܦܝܵܠܵܐ (pyālā, “broad shallow dish; bowl, saucer”) as seen in Classical Syriac. Doublet of ܦܵܠܵܐ (pālā).
