Armenian plus Arabic, so from Aramaic
Perhaps there are Berber words in Old Armenian obtained by Aramaic mediation? As in the area between Berber and Armenian one spoke Aramaic throughout, and you have the particular meaning of paper reed used in Egypt and Palestine up to apparently, which city the cited Ibn Ḥawqal was born in and is already in in various senses. Because the Portuguese forms, together with some other considerations, really convinced me of Berber origin: It must have been, , all the time in most western Latin with us just not having sufficient records from that Latin. Your other word  looks similar to the forms given at ; in what it does not look similar it makes up for it by closer meaning than the Akkadian given; although it reminds me of  and  as well.

 * , Aramaic is a good candidate. According to Wikipedia, papyrus formerly grew in Syria and in the Euphrates. I found, and Calak found . I wonder if the ultimate origin is the Aramaic root prt by some figurative development.
 * Your words for are too far away. --Vahag (talk) 15:59, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
