Griechenlands Kulturimport aus dem Orient

he word baklava is first attested in English in 1650,[SUP][3][/SUP] a borrowing from Ottoman Turkish باقلوا /bɑːklɑvɑː/.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] The name baklava is used in many languages with minor phonetic and spelling variations. The origin of the name is unclear. Buell argues that the word "baklava" may come from the Mongolian root baγla- 'to tie, wrap up, pile up' composed with the Turkic verbal ending -v;[SUP][6][/SUP] baγla- itself in Mongolian is a Turkic loanword.[SUP][7][/SUP] The Armenian-Turkish linguist Sevan Nişanyan considers its oldest known forms (pre-1500) to be baklağı and baklağu, and labels it as being of Proto-Turkic origin, but without further documentation.[SUP][8][/SUP]

Though the suffix -vā might suggest a Persian origin,[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] the baqla- part does not appear to be Persian.[SUP][11][/SUP] Another form of the word is also recorded in Persian, باقلبا (bāqlabā).[SUP][12][/SUP]
The Arabic name is doubtless a borrowing from Turkish,[SUP][13][/SUP] though a folk etymology, unsupported by Wehr's dictionary, connects it to Arabic بقلة /baqlah/ 'bean'.

Da sieht man mal, wie wichtig historische Dokumentation ist.
