Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܩܽܘܠܬܳܐ (qulləṯā), deriving from Akkadian (qulliu, “a bowl”), older Akkadian (gullu, “a container”), also Akkadian (gullatu, “ewer”). Doublet of gaulus (“a kind of vessel”) and of collathum (“a unit of liquid measure used in Syria”) via Ancient Greek κόλλαθον (kóllathon, “a unit of liquid measure used in Syria”) from the same word (reborrowed as Classical Syriac ܩܘܠܐܬܘܢ / ܩܘܠܬܘܢ (“a unit of liquid measure”)). Also found as Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Jewish Literary Aramaic, Jewish Babylonian Aramaic קוּלְתָא (qulləṯā), Biblical Hebrew גֻלָּה (gullāh), Ugaritic (gl), Eblaite (GÚ-LI-LUM), Arabic قُلَّة (qulla). Note that because of each locus being transmitted in all variants the exact form of the Latin cannot be known with certainty, but the meter in the Art of Poetry requires the /l/ between the first and second syllable to be ungeminated, against the Aramaic etymon and manuscripts that give ⟨ll⟩ variants. The quotes that follow on this page comprise all occurrences that are attested from antiquity, that is two Horace loci with a Syria frame and a commentary to one of it with scholia. However, the word has been picked up in its variants in the Renaissance.
