Etymology
From Proto-Turkic *bȫrü, compare Old Turkic 𐰋𐰇𐰼𐰃 (böri), Yakut бөрө (börö), Turkmen bȫrü, Salar büüri.
Sometimes claimed to be an Iranian word (compare Digor берӕгъ (beræǧ), Iron бирӕгъ (biræǧ, “wolf”)), although Sergei Starostin argues against this. Corroborating this, Vasily I. Abaev elaborates that the East Iranian form itself is most likely borrowed from a Turkic source.[1]
Compare also Russian бирюк (birjuk, “lone wolf, loner”) (see Аникин 128-129)[2]
Usage notes
