PROTO: *(ʔa-)bakw(-Vr)-
MEANING: (young) camel/horse
NOTES: The Beja term may reflect the original Afras. root, later having taken the -r suffix (of hoofed animals?); another possibility not to be ruled out is the loss of Beja -r in Auslaut and reconstruction of Afras. *(ʔa-)bakur- Cf. HSED, 196, *bakVr- 'young animal': Sem. *bakr- 'young camel' and Berb *bVkVr- 'lamb'. Cf. *birk- 'cow, cattle; calf'. Cf. also Sem *bkr 'to be young, early' and *bakur- 'firstborn' and Eg bkꜣ (Pyr) 'der zweite Tag, das Morgen' (EG I 481), 'the morrow, morning' (Foul 61). The Eg form may be rel. to bkꜣ 'become pregnant' (MK).
