Afroasiatic etymology : Query result

Notes: The Beja term may reflect the original Afras. root, later having taken the -r suffix (of hoofed animals?); another possibility not to be ruled out is the loss of Beja -r in Auslaut and reconstruction of Afras. *(ʔa-)bakur- Cf. HSED, 196, *bakVr- 'young animal': Sem. *bakr- 'young camel' and Berb *bVkVr- 'lamb'. Cf. *birk- 'cow, cattle; calf'.

The Eg form may be rel. to bkꜣ 'become pregnant' (MK).
