While such a custom is known to have existed among the western Syrians and the Jews, others claim that the explanation put forward by the "Aruk" is not acceptable, since "Kalir" is not the name of the poet, but that of his father.
Sementara kebiasaan itu diketahui telah ada di antara orang-orang barat Suriah dan orang-orang Yahudi, yang lain mengklaim bahwa penjelasan yang dikemukakan oleh "Aruk" tidak dapat diterima, karena "Kalir" bukanlah nama si penyair, tapi nama ayahnya.
