BDB56

III. אבל (compare Arabic able to manage camels, from , collective, Sabean אבל camel DHM^{ZMG 1883, 329}). On this etymology, form ׳אוֺ needs explanation; GFM (privately) queries whether, if genuine, name may not be theophoric (x + £l), possibly error for אַדְבְּאֵל; or Aramaic Aph`el from יבל (which in any case may have influenced pronunciation).
