> BTW, do you know where the modern word PYL comes from ?

After hitting the "send" key, I remembered an Aramaic expression from
the Babylonian Talmud with the word PYL.

Interestingly that expression "they pull elephants through the eye of a 
needle"
uses the word QWP - but as the eye of a needle - not a monkey.
