[edit]Etymology
[edit]Romanists derive from Latin veruīna, whence Spanish barrena, Latin barrina. The internal Arabic variant sound change ن (n) → م (m) is paralleled by مِيجَم (mījam), كَرْزَم (karzam), إِبْزِيم (ʔibzīm). However old بَيْرَم (bayram, “gimlet”) disallows pure Latin origin, and Classical Arabic likewise used بَرَمَ (barama), أَبْرَمَ (ʔabrama, “to twist, to knot”), hence a kind of twisted rope بَرِيم (barīm) and modern business language بَرَمَ (barama, “to conclude, to settle”).
