jōklān[edit]

@Vahagn Petrosyan jōklān doesn't look like an Arabic word, and I couldn't find it anywhere (unless it is a dialectal form). --Z 16:08, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

My source was Ačaṙean, whose source is probably Horn, who has Arabic jwklʾn written in Hebrew characters probably because he did not have an Arabic font. Horn says it appears in One Thousand and One Nights. Now I find جوكلان in [1], described as “vulgar Arabic”. --Vahag (talk) 17:11, 18 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
