The Gabol is a Baloch tribe having a distinct identity through the centuries, and not a branch of any other Baloch tribe. During the reign of Mir Jalal Khan Baloch, the Gabol joined the Rind Federation. Eventually, they joined Mir Chakar Khan Dombki as an ally against the Lasharis.〔Marri, Dr Shah Muhammad "Baloch Qoum-2", Gosha E Adab, Jinnah Road Quetta (2014)〕 At present, the Gabol tribe is largely settled in Karachi, and interior Sindh with significant numbers in Balochistan as well as Punjab. ==Etymology== According to a narrative گبول بچھ دیزک, found among the Gabols of Kirthar (کير ٿر جبل), the word ''Gabol'' means "castellated".〔Gabol, Muhammad Irfan, "Etymology of the word Gabol" p. 15, Authority for Research & History, Alipur (2014).〕 M.K. Pikolin translated it as "valiant" or "strong".〔Pikolin, M.K, "The Baloch", Takhleeqat, 5-Begum Road Mozang Lahore〕 If we explore the etymology of this word, it belongs to the Aramaic language, meaning "big" or "mighty".〔http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/bchilton77-994868-zephaniah-the-worship-prophet-part-1/〕 In this context, Edward Lipinski, an authority on Arameans, writes:〔Lipinski, Edward, ''Studia Phoenicia: Volume 18'', p.32〕 "There is no reason why 'Gambulu' (a powerful Aramean tribe at Iran-Iraq border), which shows either dissimilation bb>mb in 'Gabbol' or simply epenthetic(طُفیلی) 'm' appearing before 'b'." Similarly, Dr. Mir Alam Khan Raqib states:〔Raqib, Dr. Mir Alam Khan, Balochi Dunya, may 1966 p.35, Qasr Al Adab, 29-Writers Colony, Multan〕 "The letter 'm' in word 'Gambol' seems redundant and hard. So, due to its hardness the letter 'm' obsoleted and the word transformed to Gabol, still a well-known baloch tribe." According to the Bible, Gabol was the great-grandchild of Ibrahim (Abraham). Gabol's descendants lived in the land of Babylon.〔http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/apo/jasher/25.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gabol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
