[ilˈbiz]
MənşəUncertain. Possibly from metathesis of iblis (“Iblis, Satan, devil”), due to association of snails with the devil and evil spirits. Compare Kurdish guhşeytan (lit. “Devil's ear”), şeytanok (literally “little devil”) or Kryz term for “snail”, шийтӏан, from Arabic شَيْطَان (šayṭān, “devil”). Udi аьлбиз (älbiz) and Khinalug илбиз (ilbiz) are probably borrowings from Azerbaijani.
