There the meaning for the latter of "paper" (in Syr. Arc. according to CAL) or "parchment" (as in קלף מזוזה) or MIH "card" is explained by "to split parchment". It might be also worthwhile to note that Jastrow only cites גלפ in the targum and midrash, but not the talmud.<BR/><BR/>As for targum citations, there are some on <A HREF="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/cgi-bin/kwictest.cgi?lemma=glp&pos=V<h=10&charset=H&texts=51002" REL="nofollow">Exodus</A>, <A HREF="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/cgi-bin/kwictest.cgi?lemma=glp&pos=V<h=10&charset=H&texts=51010" REL="nofollow">1 Kings</A>, <A HREF="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/cgi-bin/kwictest.cgi?lemma=glp&pos=V<h=10&charset=H&texts=51014" REL="nofollow">Ezekiel</A>...<BR/><BR/>Do with it what you like.

Klein's if you want to read English).<BR/><BR/>Take a look at entries for <A HREF="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/searchroots.php?lemma=glp&pos=Noun" REL="nofollow">גלפ</A> and <A HREF="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/searchroots.php?lemma=qlp&pos=Noun" REL="nofollow">קלפ</A> in the <A HREF="http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/" REL="nofollow">Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon</A> and you will see that the meanings of carving as well as peeling are common with those Indo-European sources of "<A HREF="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=glyph&searchmode=none" REL="nofollow">glyph</A>" and "<A HREF="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=cleave" REL="nofollow">cleave</A>". The <A HREF="http://www.etymonline.com/" REL="nofollow">Online Etymological Dictionary</A> on the latter suggests a primitive Indo-European root meaning "to cut/slice".Joel Nothmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13572851908191383321noreply@blogger.com
