"سلحفاة" meaning in Arabic

See سلحفاة in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /su.laħ.faːh/
Etymology: Probably derived from an unattested Aramaic form akin to Classical Syriac ܣܠܘܦܝܬܐ (sallōp̄īṯā), Hebrew שַׁלְחוּפָה (šalḥūp̄ā, “tortoise”), from Akkadian 𒃻𒅮𒈾 (šeleppûm, “turtle, snake; a shell, egg, canister”). Distortion of the Akkadian form in either Aramaic or Arabic after native roots such as س ل ح (s-l-ḥ), س ل خ (s-l-ḵ), and ز ح ل (z-ḥ-l) is likely, as with many terms for organisms encountered only at special occasions (see exemplarily Russian берескле́т (beresklét, “spindle tree”)); Arabic vernaculars offer forms like سُحَلْفَاة (suḥalfāh), زُلَحْفَاة (zulaḥfāh), زَحَلْفَة (zaḥalfa) and زِلَحْفَة (zilaḥfa). Compare the variants of سَرَطَان (saraṭān, “crab”) for a similar case.

Distortion of the Akkadian form in either Aramaic or Arabic after native roots such as س ل ح (s-l-ḥ), س ل خ (s-l-ḵ), and ز ح ل (z-ḥ-l) is likely, as with many terms for organisms encountered only at special occasions (see exemplarily Russian берескле́т (beresklét, “spindle tree”)); Arabic vernaculars offer forms like سُحَلْفَاة (suḥalfāh), زُلَحْفَاة (zulaḥfāh), زَحَلْفَة (zaḥalfa) and زِلَحْفَة (zilaḥfa).
