شلال¹
- /ʃal.laːl/
Where it comes from
From Aramaic, but badly attested there, see شِلَّة (šilla, “hank, skein”) for what is attested in Aramaic; however Mishnaic Hebrew offers an exact שלולית (“torrent, cataract etc.”). Contaminated the root ش ل ل (š l l) with meanings of flowing on or pouring forth if those are not separately borrowed from other badly attested Aramaic forms for “flowing”.
