Where it comes from

From جَلْجَلَ (jaljala, “to rattle”) for the fruits of Savignya parviflora, foreboding high summer, dance and shake when ripe and dry – if the verb is not from the plant. The name for this plant also bears the forms قُلْقُلَان (qulqulān), قُلَيْقِلَان (qulayqilān). The meaning sesame however is already found in Sabaean 𐩴𐩡𐩴𐩡𐩬 (glgln).
