▪ eC7 (pitcher, jug, flagon) Q 56:18 bi-ʔakwābin wa-ʔabārīqa wa-kaʔsin min maʕīnin ‘with glasses, flagons and a cup full of pure liquid’
▪ Jeffery1938: 46-47. Q 56:18 ‘ewer, jug’, only in the pl. form in an early Meccan description of Paradise. »It was recognized as a Pers loan-word and is given by al-Kindī [details], al-Ṯaʕālibī [det.], al-Suyūṭī [fn] and al-Jawālīqī [fn] in their lists of Pers borrowings, as well as by the Lexicons LA [det.], TA [det.] though some attempted to explain it as a genuine Ar word derived from √BRQ. – In modPers, the word is ābrīz meaning ‘urn’ or ‘waterpot’. It would be derived from āb ‘water’ (= Phlv āβ, i.e. oPers. āpi = Av…; Skt… aqua), and rīḫtan (= Phlv rēχtăn from the old Iranian root *raek = linquere) […] generally accepted since the time. It was from the Phlv form that the word was borrowed into Ar, the shortening of the ā being regular. The word occurs in the early poetry, in verses of ʕAdī b. Zayd, ʕAlqama, and al-ʔAʕšā, and so was doubtless an early borrowing among the Arabs who were in contact with the court at al-Ḥīra.«
