ḳalb - thought, wish
(CDG 427)
Cf. Tgr. ḳälǝb ‘wish, wilľ, (poet.) ‘heart’ (WTS 233), Amh. ḳälb ‘heart, mind, intelligence’ (AED 686); Har. ḳälbi ‘heart’ (EDH 124), Sel. ḳälb ‘heart, in¬telligence’ (EDG 1008), Wol. ḳälb ‘intelligence’ (EDG 1170); Enn. End. Gye. Muh. Msq. Gog. ḳälb, Cha. Eža Gye. ḳärb ‘intelligence, innerself’ (EDG 475). All these forms are considered Arabisms in CDG 427, LGur. 475, which looks convincing.
