جَوَّال

Etymology

From Arabic جَوَّال (jawwāl); from the root ج و ل (j-w-l), جوّل “to wander”.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /d͡ʒaw.waːl/.

Noun

جَوَّال • (jawwāl) m (plural جَوَّالات (jawwālāt))

1. cell phone, mobile phone

Persian

Alternative forms

• گوال (guvâl)

Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ywbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (jwbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (jwʾl). The last two have been alternatively read as [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwbʾl), [Book Pahlavi needed] (gwʾl). Its further origin is disputed. Perhaps from Old Iranian *yawa-barθしーたra-, a compound of *yáwah (“barley; cereal, grain”) with a derivative of *bárati (“to bear”). Alternatively, related to a verbal form in Persian گوالیدن (guvâlidan, “to grow, to increase”). See Arabic شَلَّاق (šallāq) and جُلّ (jull) for related forms.

Noun

جوال • (juvâl)

1. large sack
2. cloth for sacks
