Proto-WChadic: *fadar- (?)
Hausa: ʔàlfàdàr̃ī 'mule' Baldi, 99; Barg., 19; looking like a typical Arabism, but no such an Arb. term can be found in the dictionaries of classical Arb. (a dialectal Arabism?)
Notes: Cf. furde, hurde: doki h. 'a dappled grey horse'; hardly means 'horse', rather refers to color, cf. hurdi 'a piebald ox with a black face' Barg., 469
