PronunciationEdit
Etymology 1Edit
Found in dictionaries as if from the root ب و ل (b-w-l), but actually not relatable to any root. It is explained as reanalysis of بَاءَ لِي (bāʾa lī, “it has come upon me”); predating Arabic literature by a millenium at least since there is Biblical Aramaic בָּל (bāl, “mind, heed”).
