I agree.  I think that onomatopoeia plays a role in the commuted meaning of
the word.  Besides, diphthong, which results from one's gliding from one
sound to another, might well be generalized to describe Sinbad's character,
which often "glides," from serious to lighter topics and, occasionally, from
the sublime to the ridiculous.
