 * This entry could use some expansion, particularly a source for the etymology and some treatment of other words for this plant (I would especially like to know the etymon of 🇨🇬, the form which points toward Arabic). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 17:47, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There is little likelihood for such a general word in Egyptian to come to mean such a specific drug but in modern Arabic. For a moment it boded that one could instead derive from Persian, as  and Fabian Käs and company suggested this for, but that would be obscure again, apart from the reverse being transmitted, and if you look onto lucerne and qat side by side, and know that words for trefoils like , , , tend to be vague, an internal derivation becomes eyely for both words, and  as a cherry on top, which confirms it all again by its long vowel combined with irregular consonantism. So I had to rebut the published professors and demonstrate the correct derivation. One needed a lot of internals in mind for this etymology. Fay Freak (talk) 19:03, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
