SOURCE RECORD
The record for Kalila
Several secondary name lists associate Kalila with beloved. The inspected Arabic-script rendering in one list raises a transcription question, while the exact approved dictionary account was unavailable.
This is a specific unresolved lexical issue, so the appealing love interpretation is retained as a research lead rather than a confirmed translation.
