Видове бухери + черупки от покрити бухери

Etymology

[edit]

Technically reflecting Proto-Slavic *buxyrъ, probably with original meaning bulged, bloated creature. If correct, then derived from бу́хвам (búhvam, to bulge, to bloat, to tumefy) +‎ -ер (-er).

Alternatively, modified from dialectal Bulgarian бу́га (búga, bull) (of Turkic origin) + -ер (-er) due to the horn-like eye tentacles of snails. Compare the folk epithets ро́глец (róglec), ро́жковец (róžkovec, gastropod) from Bulgarian рог (rog, horn).
