\data\semham\afaset
Proto-Afro-Asiatic: *bVr-
Meaning: ram, lamb; goat
Semitic: *baʕr- 'lamb' (likely the same as *bVʕVr- 'cattle; camels') (?)
Berber: *HVbbur 'ram, lamb' (?)
Egyptian: *bar- '(sacred) goat' (?)
Western Chadic: *(m)bV(H)r- 'sheep, ram, goat'
Central Chadic: *bur- 'goat'
Low East Cushitic: *barar- 'lamb'
High East Cushitic: *ha/ibVr- ? 'goat'
Notes: Arab ʕ secondary under the influence of *bʕr 'cattle'? Cf. HSED 341 (WCh.: Buli, Tala; CCh.: Hil., Klb., Mwl.; Som.; Yaaku abuur - not in Heine Yaaku). Acc. to Tak. II, 24-25 strangely asserting "In spite of Mlt. 1990, HSED 341, this AA root (Kel Ataram, Som, Yaaku, Tng, Tsagu, SBch) for 'sheep' should be separated from Brj. Qab. (here I rather agree: <*hbr), Bole, CCh."
