How the two words are related

Shifted meaning

Same root as a Hebrew word, but the meaning drifted over the centuries.

Arabic root

و-ر-ق

Hebrew root

ע-מ-ל

ʿamal 'work' is Hebrew עמל — same root ע-מ-ל — but Hebrew narrowed it to toil and hard labor (עמל כפיים), while Arabic made it the ordinary word for work. Waraqa 'leaf, sheet of paper' is this app's 'paper'.
