Etymology

[edit]

An ancient Mesopotamian Wanderwort; connected to Akkadian ๐’Œ‘๐’Š‘๐’…”๐’‰ก (uโ‚‚-ri-in-nu /โ urinnuโ /), and potentially Arabic ุบูŽุฑูŽู† (แธกaran), and potentially further a borrowing from Proto-Semitic; see also ๐’€‰๐’„ท (TIโ‚ˆmuลกen /โ arรป, erรปโ /, โ€œbird of preyโ€) and ๐’€€๐’Š๐’Œ‹๐’Œ‹ (a-ra-niลก /โ arฤniลกโ /, โ€œeagle-likeโ€). This is one of the terms of the alleged Euphratic substrate theory, which would give it connections to Hittite ๐’„ฉ๐’€€๐’Š๐’€ธ (แธซa-a-ra-aลก /โ แธซฤraลก, แธซฤran-โ /), from Proto-Indo-European *hโ‚ƒรฉrล (โ€œeagleโ€). Concurring with the opinion of Pennsylvania State University's Dr. Rubio, the borrowing from multiple languages rather than a specific substratum is now the predominant viewpoint in the field.
