Number: 2435
Proto-Semitic: *ɣVzāl-
Meaning: gazelle
Akkadian: ḫuzālu, uzālu 'Gazellenjunges' (AHw. 362, 1447). The only ḫ-form is attested in the Practical Vocabulary of Aššur 383 (AMAR.MAS̆.DÀ = ḫu-[za]-lu). For ú-za-lu provided with the WS gloss ar-PI in the lexical list Emar 551 55' v. [Pentiuc 32-3]. Onomastic evidence with ḫ (in particular, forms with the feminine affix -(a)t-) partly quoted in [AHw.] and [CAD ḫ 265] is to be taken with cautions since it is not always certain whether the respective names are genuine Akkadian or West Semitic. Note that at least some of the OB ḫuzāl-names are treated as Amorite in [Streck 328, 332].
Judaic Aramaic: ʕwzl 'antilope' [Sok. 398]. Cf. ʔurzīlā 'a slender young animal; the young of the gazelle' [Ja. 33], [Levy WT I 61], [Levy WTM III 697] with ʔ- instead of ʕ- (in [Ja.] and ... ʕurzīlā is also quoted) and inserted -r-.
Syrian Aramaic: ʕūzaylā 'antilope; hinnuleus' [Brock. 519], [PS 2829]. Cf. ʕwzlʔ 'porcus' [Brock. 519], [PS 2852] (for the meaning shift cf. probably Arb. yaʕfūr-, yuʕfūr- 'gazelle; petit de gazelle ou de biche' [BK 2 299] vs. ʕifr-, ʕufr- 'porc, verrat; petit cochon, pourceau' [ibid. 297] (No. ...).
Arabic: ɣazāl- petit de gazelle; gazelle (mâle)', ɣazālat- 'gazelle (femelle)' [BK 2 465] [LA XI 492].
Notes: Gez. ḳazal 'kind of antelope' [LGz. 457] (+ Tna.!) are regarded as Arabisms by Leslau which is not unlikely. Note however that Eth. ḳ vs. Arb. ɣ is found by far not only in Arabisms.
