Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician and Kindred Dialects (Handbook of Oriental Studies; 97), Leiden: Brill, →ISBN, page 257, where they do not know the Malay origin and claim an influence of South Arabian variants of Proto-Semitic *šabaṭ- (“to beat”), which is semantically and chronologically unlikely.
