شوکران

Through a Semitic borrowing, however a false cognate to the Semitic root for drunkenness, intoxication (Arabic س ك ر‎ (s-k-r)); from a form equaling Aramaic שׁכרונא‎ / ܫܲܟܪܘܿܢܵܐ‎ (šaḵrōnā, “henbane”), Hebrew שִׁכָּרוֹן‎ (šikārōn, “henbane”), Arabic سَكْرَان‎ (sakrān), سَيْكَرَان‎ (saykarān, “henbane”). Derived from Akkadian 𒌑𒅫 (^U₂.ŠAKIR /šakirû/, “a plant, drug”), ultimately a loan from Sumerian 𒌑𒅫 (^U₂.ŠAKIR /šakir/, “a plant, drug”).
