@Fay Freak, here's an entry of some etymological interest needing an Arabic section. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:17, 4 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Fay Freak कटुकफल (kaṭukaphala) (nom. sg. कटुकफलम् (kaṭukaphalam)) probably has no connection. It's a transparent compound कटुक (kaṭuka, pungent, bitter) +‎ फल (phala, fruit), and I can't find any descendants (indeed, in Monier-Williams it is marked with "L.", meaning it is only attested in dictionaries and not in text). The normal Sanskrit word for "clove" is लवङ्ग (lavaṅga). —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 22:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
