1. Transliteration vs. translation: Do you mean literal transaltion. Please explain. Idioms are often formed on target models. But finding the ultimate origin is not an easy task because neither time nor place of such borrowings can be determined. In addition, folk etymology is often at work.
2. Arabic DeJeLei RaJa is not clear to me. What root is this word.
3. Dogs bark but the caravan goes on. It is said to have been coined on a Turkish model.
