بوری

See also: بوري‎

Persian

Etymology 1

From a putative Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (*bwlyk' /bōrīg/) suffixed from [Book Pahlavi needed] (bwl /bōr/) becoming modern بور‎ (bur, “red, bay; blond”) – compare Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (bwlk' /*bōrag/) reflected in modern بوره‎ (bure, “borax”).

  1. blond
Descendants

بوری • (buri)

  1. trumpet; hunting horn
  2. point (especially of a nail)
Descendants

Etymology 3

Looks like an Aramaic borrowing of the same word that we describe under Arabic بُرْدِيّ‎ (burdiyy). The existence of “buri mats” in the Philippines from the buri palm (Tagalog burí) must be a coincidence, unless the naming can be supposed to have been imported in a similar fashion as the name of the fibre-offering abaca plant from Arabic أَبَق‎ (ʔabaq).

Alternative forms
  • بوریه‎ (buriya), بوریه‎ (buriye)

Noun

بوری • (buri)

  1. split reed; marsh reed
  2. a mat made of such reed
    Synonyms: حصیر‎ (hasir), زیرانداز‎ (zir-andâz)
Descendants
  • → Arabic: بُورِيّ‎ (būriyy, “reed mat”) (hardly found)
