"يأجوج" meaning in Arabic

See يأجوج in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /jaʔ.d͡ʒuːd͡ʒ/
Etymology: A Qurʾānic formation later incorporated into the Arabic Islamic lexicon, apparently an alteration of Hebrew גּוֹג (gōg), itself also the source of the Biblical form جُوج (jūj). The addition of a syllable may have been by influence of Hebrew מָגוֹג (māgōg), the source of مَاجُوج (mājūj) and مَأْجُوج (maʔjūj), and/or motivated by phonic considerations, as يَأْجُوج (yaʔjūj) is collocated with مَأْجُوج (maʔjūj) in the two instances of the word's occurrence in the Qurʾān. For other possible phonic changes, compare with عِيسَى (ʕīsā), which is often conjoined or juxtaposed in the Qurʾān with such words as مُوسَى (mūsā) and يَحْيَى (yaḥyā). Compare also with قَابِيل (qābīl), which, though not used in the Qurʾān, may have been modified by analogy with هَابِيل (hābīl).
