"إبل" meaning in Arabic

See إبل in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʔi.bil/
Etymology: The root ء ب ل (ʔ b l) else but contains terms plausibly denominative from this word for camels; the animal name, as well as the raincloud-name reminiscing وَبْل (wabl, “heavy-dropped rain”), must be connected to Proto-Semitic *wabal- (“to carry, to bear”) also of restricted Arabic use in the root formula و ب ل (w b l), with glottal stop as أُهْبَة (ʔuhba, “gear, accoutrement”). In Classical Syriac one finds ܐܒܠܬܐ (ʾabbāltā, ʾebbaltā, ʾebbāltā, “a herd or caravan of camels”), accounting for its vocalism probably a separate derivation of this sense, whereas the Arabic unusual measure of إِبِل (ʔibil) is inflated by a prop vowel from an original pattern as in animal names like عِجْل (ʕijl) and حِسْل (ḥisl).

In Classical Syriac one finds ܐܒܠܬܐ (ʾabbāltā, ʾebbaltā, ʾebbāltā, “a herd or caravan of camels”), accounting for its vocalism probably a separate derivation of this sense, whereas the Arabic unusual measure of إِبِل (ʔibil) is inflated by a prop vowel from an original pattern as in animal names like عِجْل (ʕijl) and حِسْل (ḥisl).",
