[edit]Etymology
[edit]*a- + *rębъ (“speckled, spotted”). Found with an unprefixed analogue in Latvian irbe (“partridge”) against an adjective raibs (“variegated, spotted”), which is in Lithuanian raibas (“variegated, spotted”), to be juxtaposed with Proto-Germanic *erpaz (“light brown”) (which has derivations denoting the similar-looking hazel grouse) and Old Irish riabach (“spotted, variegated”); note also Old Norse rjúpa (“ptarmigan”).
