Semitic etymology :

Number: 1624
Proto-Semitic: *ɣa/ur-/*ɣarɣar-
Meaning: (kind of) skin, dewlap, a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck region
Akkadian: (?) āru 'hide (?)' OA [CAD a2 318] (interpreted as 'Kalb' with a question mark in [AHw 72])
Ugaritic: ɣr 'piel' [DLU 159]. In UGR syllabic cuneiform: AKK ma-aš-ku = [ú?]-ru 'skin, hide' [Huehner 159]. Note that the UGR syllabic cuneiform normally uses H-signs to render ɣ [Huehner 240-243]j
Phoenician: *ʕr (only pl. ʕrt; cf. HBR) 'skin' [T 256]
Hebrew: ʕōr 'skin, leather', pl. ʕōrōt [KB 803]. Cf. PB ʔūr 'chaff' [Ja 32]; it is not quite clear from Jastrow's notation whether this form belongs to HBR PB or ARM JUD (if ARM JUD, why placed under a separate heading not together with ʔūrā 'skin'?)
Judaic Aramaic: ʕūr 'husk, chaff' [Ja 1058]. Cf. also ʔūrā 'skin' [ibid. 32], with ʔ- instead of ʕ-
Arabic: ɣarɣar-at-, ɣurɣur-at- 'gésier d'oiseau' [BK 2 457]; cf. ɣarr-at-, ɣurr-at- 'pli (d'une peau, d'une étoffe)' [ibid. 446]
Mehri: ɣǝrɣār, ɣǝrɣǝrōt 'side of throat' [JM 141]
Jibbali: ɣɔrɣɔ́rɔ́t, ɣarɣɔ́rɔ́t 'dewlap' [JJ 88]
Notes: Reduplication in ARB and MSA (where borrowing from ARB is not to be excluded). Cf. [O-S 227], where UGR ɣr, HBR ʕōr (erroneously quoted as ʕor) are compared to HRS ɣerēret 'bag, sack'; this comparison, however, would have been valid only if the MSA words denoted a bag made of skin, which does not follow from the meanings quoted in the dictionaries (cf. also MHR ɣayrōrǝt, JIB ɣárɔ́rt 'small bag' [JM 140] and ARB ɣirār-at- 'sac à paille hachée, ou sac à grain porté à dos de chameau' [BK 2 447], which is either a cognate of, or a loan-source for, the MSA terms).
Cf. ETH forms likely related with suffixed -m: TGR ʕaräm 'skin (untanned)' [LH 458], TNA ʕaräm 'pelle della testa di vitello' [Bass 677] and, possibly, GUR: SOD irma 'belt of skin for women' [LGur 89] (which Leslau considers a loan from E. CUSH: HAD irmu-ččo).
