غربال

From Aramaic עַרְבָּלָא‎ /‎ ܥܱܪܒܳܠܴܐ‎ (ʿarbālā) (Jewish Aramaic more commonly written אַרְבָּאלָא / אַרְבָּלָא‎ (ʾarbālā), and also vocalized עַרְכְּלָא‎ (ʿarbəlā), אַרְכְּלָא‎ (ʾarbəlā)). Possible a culture-word left from the Hurrian period in Nuzi from which sieves have been excavated and where the Hurrian word [script needed] (erbettu) is found, said to be of uncertain meaning. Such an origin is also supported by Old Armenian խարբալեմ (xarbalem, “to sift”), Middle Armenian խարբալ (xarbal, “sieve”). (Neo-Babylonian 𒌒𒁄𒆷 (/arballu/, “sieve”) is from Aramaic.)
