green woodpecker – WehrCowan1976.
conc
▪ Accord. to Lane ii (1865) (see below, section HIST), ʻgreen woodpecker’ is a modern use, while in older times it meant a certain bird. Some ClassAr lexicographers explain the name of this bird as an epithet based on taḫayyul, thus meaning *ʻthe one who feels self-important, conceited, the arrogant one’; for others, it is connected to the idea of a bad omen. The more modern use could be due to the spots on the bird’s wings, reminding of a ²ḫāl ʻmole, birthmark; patch, beauty spot’ (see ↗ḫāla).
▪ (MilitarevKogan2005 SED II #107:) From protSem *ḫ˅l- ‘kind of bird’ (not very reliable, due to scarce attestation: in Hbr and Ar only, both not secured).

hist
▪ Lane ii (1865): ʻa certain bird that alights upon the rump of the camel and is app. for that reason held to be of evil omen;1 applied in the present day to the green wood-pecker (picus viridis), and to the common roller (coracias garrula), so called because upon its wings are colours differing from its general colour, or because diversified with black and white, or the ↗šāhīn (a species of falcon)’.
