ܟܢܓܪܙܕ kngrzd the juice of Cynara scolyms, the artichoke; artichoke gum
Allotropes and compounds: ܟܢܓܪܕ kngrd; ܟܢܓܪ kngr; ܟܢܓܪܝܣ kngrys
The above-mentioned forms are recorded in LS all together in a single entry; in PS Comp. 167, on the other hand, we find two different entries, namely: 1. kngrys the juice of Cynara scolymus, the artichoke (Med 55, 7; 313, 15), and 2. knkrzd artichoke gum (sic; Med 605, 10). Another different subdivision is adopted by Duval index pers. 225, who quotes two words, namely: 1. kngr, kngrd, and 2. kngrzd, kngrys. Even if LS refers to NP kunǰāra, kunǰār, kunǰāl, kunǰāla a sediment, dregs, caput mortuum, remains of anything squeezed (Steingass 1053), it seems clear that all the forms are related to NP kangar a kind of artichoke, kangarī artichoke-gum (Steingass 1056); kngrzd reflects an antecedent of NP kangar-ad (and kangar-zid) artichoke-gum (Steingass 1056), a compound of kangar and ad gum (Steingass 636): probably, the models of the borrowings were MP *kangar, *kangar-zad(ūg); the second element of the compound is MP zadūg [ztwk' (NP ad)] gum (CPD 97). It is not perfectly clear to me, however, in what way the forms kngrd and kngrys are related to the MP antecedents of NP kangar, kangarī and kangar-ad: I suspect the possibility that they may be abridged forms, or scribal errors ● Med 55, 7; EN 26, 90; BB 905, 17; 1380u ◆ LS 333b; Löw 292; Duval index pers. 225; PS Suppl. 167
