▪ ^†SLʔ_2 ‘prickles of palm-trees; (hence also: ) arrow-head; a certain bird, dust-colored, and long-legged’: ^† sullāʔ; cf. also (denom.?) ^†salaʔa, vb. I, ‘to pluck off the (prickles of a tree)’

conc

▪ SLʔ_1 : Accord. to Ehret1989 #21 an extension in »concisive« * ʔ from a 2-rad. pre-protSem root ↗*SL ‘to draw out or off’, preserved in Ar ↗salla ‘to draw out slowly’. Other extensions from the same basis would include ↗salaba, ↗salata, ↗salaḥa, ↗salaḫa, ↗saliʕa, ↗salafa, ↗salaqa.
▪ ^†SLʔ_2 : Any relation between ‘(to pluck off) prickles of a palm-tree’ and SLʔ_1 ‘to clarify butter’? – See DISC, below.
▪ ^†SLʔ_3 : Identity of terminology with SLʔ_1 ‘to clarify butter\oil’ and ^†SLʔ_2 ‘to pluck off the prickles (of a palm-tree)’ suggests semantic kinship, though the exact nature of this relation remains obscure.
▪ ^†SLʔ_4 : Is the ‘infliction of lashes’ derived from ^†SLʔ_2 ‘to pluck off the prickles (of a palm-tree)’ (as lashing s.o. with palm fronds would make the latter lose their prickles)?

▪ SLʔ_1 : See above, section CONC, and discussion below s.v. SLʔ_2.
▪ ^†SLʔ_2 : Should the notions of ‘(to pluck off) prickles of a palm-tree’ and SLʔ_1 ‘to clarify butter’ be seen together? If the vb. is not denom. from ^† sullāʔ ‘prickles’ and the latter rather dependent on the vb., then ‘plucking off prickles’ and ‘clarifying butter’ may have the *‘removal of unwanted bubbles, prickles, or similar’ in common.
