Arabic

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /buː.riː/
• (Kuwait, Egypt) IPA^(key): /ˈbuː.ri/

Etymology 1

• The meaning of a fatty bread is from Urdu پُوری (pūrī) / Hindi पूरी (pūrī).
• The sense of a pipe and the sense of a vehicle’s horn is from Ottoman Turkish بورو (boru, “duct, pipe, tube; horn”). Doublet of بُرْغِيّ (burḡiyy, “screw”).
• The Egyptian Arabic name of the fish comes from Coptic ⲫⲟⲣⲓ (phori, “Mugil cephalus”) – so in Bohairic, also ϥⲟⲣⲓ (fori), while in Sahidic it is ⲃⲱⲣⲉ (bōre); the relation with Japanese 鰡 / 鯔 (bora) denoting the same species of fish is enigmatic.
