▪ The term ¹salīqaẗ, accord. to WehrCowan1976 mainly used in SyrAr, for a sweet dish made of cooked grain flavoured with cinnamon and fennel, is found in the m. form ^†¹salīq already in Wahrmund1886 (‘geschälte Gerste u. Speise daraus’, i.e., peeled barley and dish made from it). The word is a quasi-PP from the vb. I, salaqa, combining in its semantics the ‘peeling’ (< ‘lacerating, skinning’) of ↗¹salaqa as well as the ‘boiling, cooking in boiling water’ of ↗³salaqa (which may have distinct etymologies, see s.v.); thus, it is originally *‘the cooked and peeled (grain, barley)’.
▪ Cf. a similar combination in ↗²salaqa ‘to remove (hair, etc.) with boiling water’.

▪ With its relation to ↗¹salaqa ‘to lacerate the skin (with a whip)’, ¹salīqaẗ is akin to other items from √SLQ that build on this notion, like ↗⁵salaqa ‘to hurt (with one’s tongue)’, ↗salāqaẗ ‘vicious tongue, violent language, violence of language’, or on the result of ‘lacerating, peeling, skinning’, namely *‘leaving traces, leaving bare’, like ^†⁸salaqa ‘to leave prints (on the soil: feet, hoofs)’, ^†salāʔiqᵘ ‘marks made by feet\hoofs on the road, or by thongs upon the skin of a camel’, prob. also DaṯAr sāliq ‘furrow (in the soil, containing seeds)’ and ClassAs also ^†⁴silqaẗ ‘water-course, channel in which water flows between two tracts of elevated ground’, ^†salaq ‘even plain, smooth, even tract of good soil, bare of trees’, ^†sulāq ‘a disease that causes eyelids or teeth to fall out’, ^†²salīq ‘what falls off from trees (leaves, etc.)’, perh. also ^†⁵salīq ‘side of a road’, and others. Cf. prob. also the homonymous ↗²salīqaẗ ‘inborn disposition, instinct’ (< * ‘carved in, trace, mark’?).
▪ With its relation to ↗³salaqa ‘to boil, cook in boiling water’, ¹salīqaẗ is prob. also akin to ^†⁴salīq ‘pot herbs’ (perh. *‘what is going to be cooked in hot water’).
