Etimologie (Engels)

Assigned to the root س و ر (s w r). It is not clear from which word it was borrowed, it might be from Classical Syriac ܫܘܽܪܳܐ (šūrā, “wall; also figuratively for any divider”), compare سُور (sūr, “wall”) from the same word, or from Classical Syriac ܣܽܘܪܓܳܕܳܐ (sūrgāḏā, “line; writing”), or from Hebrew סִדְרָה (siḏrā, “technical term for the section marks in the Hebrew scriptures”), or from Hebrew שִׁיר (šīr, “lyric song; poem”), or from a variant vocalization of Classical Syriac ܣܻܝܪܳܐ (sīrā, “thread; chapter, topical division of a book”).
