### Etymology

From Persian گوداب (gôdâb, “date or grape syrup; food dressed under roast meat”), beside گوزاب (gôzâb), گوژاب (gôžâb) and دوشاب (dôšâb, “date or grape syrup”) also کوداب (kôdâb, “juice-dressed food”), which is perhaps the original and from کود (kôd, “cornstack”) +‎ آب (âb, “water”), else it could be غوره (ğura, “unripe grapes or dates”) or انگور (angur), گور (gur, “grape or wine”).

When made from bread they are are a laudably sustaining sustenance furthering the blood production for they are made from well-baked bread, and they are laxative and help against roughness of the windpipe, and if they are prepared with milk and sugar and coconut water and a fat duck or fatty chicken is hung above them then they add much to the libido. And made with wheat they are tough, slow in digestion, hot and causing thirst, whereas made with rice they are below these amiable properties. And all of them are sustaining and going down slowly; it is desired that one supports their digestion with long sleep and does not eat them except upon real hunger.
