Descendants

Said to be the source of Middle Persian [script needed] (SLKʾ /⁠šalgam⁠/, “turnip”), itself the source of Classical Syriac ܫܠܓܡܐ (šalgəmā) and Persian (šalġam) and their descendants; but no dictionaries have been found that list “turnip” as a meaning of σικελικόν (sikelikón), not even the Byzantine dictionaries {{R:LBG}} and {{R:grc:Sophocles}}.
