q

→ Old Church Slavonic: шамиръ (šamirŭ) (mythical bird mentioned in Barsov Palea)

Probably an unattested word from an Anatolian language. This word is also ancestral to Ancient Greek Σμύρνᾱ (Smúrnā, “Smyrna, Izmir”), and the dialectal forms Aeolic, Attic Ancient Greek Μύρρᾱ (Múrrhā), Ionian Ancient Greek Σμύρνη (Smúrnē), whose name would derive from the emery deposit in the area.
Cognates include Ancient Egyptian Ꜣsmr, Akkadian 𒉌𒌓𒌑 (^(NA₄)U₂ /šammu/, “emery, corundum, adamant”), Egyptian jsmr, smr “emery”, JPA, JLA Aramaic שָׁמִירָא (šāmīrā), Classical Syriac ܫܡܝܪܐ (šmyr’), whence Arabic سَامُور (sāmūr). Ancient Greek σμύρῐς (smúrĭs, “emery-powder”) likely loaned from a Semitic cognate of the Hebrew.

לילית

לִילִית • (lilít) f (plural indefinite לִילִיּוֹת)

לִילִית (canonical)
lilít (romanization)
לִילִיּוֹת (indefinite plural)

A loanword from Akkadian 𒊩𒆤𒇲 (lilû, lilītu), which is itself derived from Sumerian "lil", both referring to the goddess Lilith. See Lamashtu (Akkadian: 𒀭𒈕𒈨, Sumerian: Dimme), who some have identified as Lilith because of various mythological similarities.
For the Hebrew term for Lilith, the Semitic root l-l- (masculine noun meaning "night") is joined to the feminine suffix -t (see לַיְלָה (láylā, “night”)), which can cause the Hebrew term to literally translate to "lady of the night". A similar principle is true of the root word Akkadian 𒊩𒆤𒇲 (lilû, lilītu) as well. There seems to be a wordplay and/or etymological connection in both the Hebrew and the Akkadian between the name "Lilith" and the title "lady of the night". This interestingly adds to the narrative in the Akkadian myths about Lilītu, where she has no husband, and strolls about searching for men in order to ensnare them and enters their houses through the window like the wind, then flees out the window as the wind. The title "lady of the night" would imply that Lilith does these things spoken of in the myths, during the night. The wordplay/etymology being present in Akkadian would provide evidence that the mythological being Lilith or Lilītu, was perceived as "a lady of the night". And it seems that Hebrew has captured this idea as well, in its own technical way unique to its language. So the Hebrew term can perhaps mean "Lilith, the lady of the night".
