verbal noun of قَلَبَ (qalaba) (form I) · heart (organ) · heart (the symbolic seat of human emotion)
çekim: çoğul قُلُوب · tamlayan قَلْبٍ
köken: Derived from قَلَبَ (qalaba, “to turn”). Alternatively, from Proto-Semitic *libb- (“heart”), with the initial ق possibly being a phonological insertion to break a biconsonantal cluster and avoid *∅alb or *∅ulb, thus *lb → *∅alb → qalb. See also Arabic لُبّ (lubb), "core, heart, intellect", without q- as well.
heart, main muscle pumping blood through the body · the center point or zone of an object, image etc. · the core or essence of some thing, reasoning etc.

çekim: çoğul aiheet · tamlayan aiheen
köken: Probably via metathesis from ajaa (“to drive, pursue”) + -e (*ajeh), "that which spurs or drives on" > "reason". May also be inspired by aie. Another theory proposes a borrowing from an earlier (Pre-Germanic) form of Proto-Germanic *aiz (“copper, bronze”) (like *ajes- → *aješ > *ajeh), but the semantics and distribution make this questionable.
