From Arabic
  • ཨ་རག་ “Alcohol” (arak “toddy,” “palm sap”)
  • ཕྱུ་པ་ “Gown” (jabba, or Turkish juba)[1]

[1] According to Fasmer’s etymological dictionary, the French word jupe is also derived from the Arabic jabba. Thus the French word jupe and the Tibetan ཕྱུ་པ་ share a common origin. See Max Fasmer and O. N. Trubachev, Etimologicheskii slovar’ russkogo iazyka (Moscow: Progress, 1986).
