## 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-barθra-, 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.
