ጋር

• ጋራ (gara)

In view of Tigre ጎር (gor, “in proximity of”), which is, also a noun meaning “neighbour”, probably from Arabic جَار‎ (jār, “neighbour”).

ጋር • (gar)

1. with, in the company of

From Arabic جَار‎ (jār, “neighbour”), maybe because Hararis checked in with the neighbours when they “went home”, or because being in someone’s “company” can be reinterpreted as his home.

• IPA^(key): [ɡäːɾ]

ጋር (gār)

1. house, home
