EgAr balīlaẗ بَليلة

√BLː (BLL) 
n.f. 
(EgAr) porridge made of wheat or maize with milk and sugar – WehrCowan1976. 
▪ Does balīlaẗ belong to ↗¹balla ‘to moisten, make wet’ (perh. *‘soaked cereals’), or is it rather the *‘meal that helps to recover, or is given to s.o. recovering, from an illness’ (↗²balla)? Or perh. none of these, but rather akin to the *‘mixed offering’ of Pun bll that preserved the original idea of *‘mixture’ (see section COGN)? In any case, DRS does not mention balīlaẗ, but groups all – ‘to moisten’, ‘to recover’ and Pun bll ‘mixed offering’ – together as cognates.
