Afroasiatic etymology : Query result

Proto-Afro-Asiatic: *(ʔa-)bakw(-Vr)-

Meaning: (young) camel/horse

Semitic: *ba/ikur(-at)- 'young (she-)camel'

Egyptian: bkꜣ (NE) 'milking cow' (<*bVkVʔ or *bVkVr) (?)

Central Chadic: *bVkwVr- 'horse'

Beḍauye (Beja): *ʔabukVy- 'camel at training age'

South Cushitic: *kubar- 'dikdik antelope' (met.?)

Dahalo (Sanye): kórrob_e 'male lesser kudu' (met.?)

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'. Cf. also Sem *bkr 'to be young, early' and *bakur- 'firstborn' and Eg bkꜣ (Pyr) 'der zweite Tag, das Morgen' (EG I 481), 'the morrow, morning' (Foul 61). The Eg form may be rel. to bkꜣ 'become pregnant' (MK).
