et chara similiter om. j
Translation:
Zebel is Arabic for dung and chara means something similar.
Commentary:
Cf. Wehr (1976): ﺫﺑﻝ /zibl/ "dung, manure". Wehr: ﺧﺮﺍﺀ /ḫarā’/ "excrement, feces".
A vocalisation closer to Simon’s is found in the Vocabulista glossary
ed. Schiaparelli (1871: 111): ﺫﺑﻝ /zab(a)l/ Fimus, stercus {i.e. dung, excrement”} [[1]]; (1871: 591): STERCUS ﺫﺑﻝ /zab(a)l/ [[2]].
Also in de Alcalá (1883: 246): estiercol {“excrement”} zébel. estiercol de onbre {“human excrement”} ḳará
[[3]];
(1883: 274): hienda {“dung”} … zébel. Hienda o estiercol ḳará
[[4]].
Cf. also Corriente (1997: 226), s.v. *(ZBL) for further witnesses.
