This short essay aims to investigate the etymological paths of the terms carafe and cotton, focusing on the Arabic roots and their adequate correspondents in the Semitic context. After analyzing the Arabic loan into Italian for both words, I will shed light on the lemmas in Arabic language, also citing some dialect varieties, giving some examples. I will undertake a linguistic comparative research, examining in particular Syriac, Aramaic, Mandaic, Hebrew and Akkadian, in order to find out if these two Arabic terms can be considered a lexical borrowing from another Semitic language.

Abstract
This short essay aims to investigate the etymological paths of the terms carafe and cotton, focusing on the Arabic roots and their adequate correspondents in the Semitic context. After analyzing the Arabic loan into Italian for both words, I will shed light on the lemmas in Arabic language, also citing some dialect varieties, giving some examples. I will undertake a linguistic comparative research, examining in particular Syriac, Aramaic, Mandaic, Hebrew and Akkadian, in order to find out if these two Arabic terms can be considered a lexical borrowing from another Semitic language.
