Number: 2496
Proto-Semitic: *parr-
Meaning: (young of) large cattle
Ugaritic: pr 'novillo' [DLU 353], prt 'novilla' [ibid.]. The only literary passage is KTU 1.5 V 18-19 where prt is paralleled by ʕglt 'heifer' and likely denotes a young cow: yʔuhb ʕglt bdbr // prt bšd šḥlmmt 'he loved a heifer in the steppe // a young cow in the plains of šḥlmmt'. The remaining passages are adiminstrative and cultic. Of interest is the com- bination ʔalp pr 'young bull' in 1.86.3, a curious parallel to the difficult expression par haššōr in Jud 6.25 (note that par haššēnī in the same verse is comparable to ʔalp šnt in 1.86.1; for the possiblity of emending haššēnī into haššānī 'one year old' cf. [KB 1604] and [Guillaume]).
Hebrew: par 'bull, steer' [KB 960], pārā 'cow' [ibid. 964]; pB. pār, par 'bullock' [Ja. 1212], pārā 'cow' [ibid.]. The meaning of these widespread terms is discussed in [Péter 487-92]. According to Péter, the common rendering of p. as 'young bull' (contrasting with šōr 'adult bull') is erroneous: pār and pārā are used to stress the sex rather than the age of the large cattle. See further [TDAT VI 72ff.].
Aramaic: Sam. pr 'bull', prh 'cow' [Tal 710]. V. the remarks on Jud. prh above.
Judaic Aramaic: prh, det. prth 'cow' [Sok. 444]. The meaning is atypical for Aramaic and likely points to a Hebraism.
Notes: Likely related are the MSA forms with inserted -ʕ-: Mhr. fōr (pl. fǝhārīn) 'young bull' [JM 87], Jib. fɔ́ʕɔ́r 'young bull, male calf' [JJ 51], Soq. fáʕhar 'jeune taureau' [LS 338] (Arb. Dof. faʕôr, t_aʕôr 'Stier' [Rhod. 46] may be due to the South Arabian substrate). The prеsence of -ʕ- can be tentatively explained by the influence of forms listed in No. ... . Of some interest are Tgr. fǝrrǝt 'pasturing herd' [LH 656], mäfrär 'herd (of cows)' [ibid.] as well as the verb färrä 'to lead to pasture' [ibid. 655]. Cf. also Amh. afʷarä 'to become a yearling ox' [K 2276]. [KB 960]: Hbr., Arm., Akk., Arb., Ugr.; [Brock. 591]: Syr., Arm., Hbr., Arb. (also farr- 'vitulus', not attested in the available Arb. dictionaries); [LS 338]: Soq., MSA, Hbr., Arb (farr- 'taureau'); [Firmage 1152]: Akk. (parru), Hbr., Ugr., Arm., Arb.

Proto-South Dravidian : *Pōr-i
Meaning : bull; bullock
Tamil : (?) pori
Tamil meaning : calf or buffalo
Kannada : hōri
Kannada meaning : bull calf; bullock
Kodagu : pōri
Kodagu meaning : male buffalo
Tulu : bōri
Tulu meaning : bull; ox
Notes : The initial consonant is hard to determine. On one hand, Tulu bōri is the only variant with an initial voiced consonant here, so it might be secondary; on the other hand, the variant with the initial voiceless consonant could have been contaminated with *pōr-, *por-i- 'to fight' (cf. the Tamil variant with the short vowel), and the Tulu form could thus prove archaic.
