H61. abal
אֲבָל adverb
1 in older Hebrew with an asseverative force, verily, of a truth [Gen 42:21]; [2Sam 14:5]; [1Kin 1:43]; [2Kin 4:14], with a slight adversative force, nay, but [Gen 17:19] (P).
2 in late Hebrew as a decided adversative, howbeit, but [Dan 10:7], [21]; [Ezra 10:13]; [2Chr 1:4]; [19:3]; [33:17] (compare Arabic of a truth, sometimes, from the context, nay rather Qor 2:82; 2:94; 2:110; 2:129; 2:149; 2:165; 2:261; 3:143; 4:52 etc.)
III. אבל (compare Arabic able to manage camels, from , collective, Sabean אבל camel DHMZMG 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).
