n. 
pitcher; jug – WehrCowan1979. 
▪ Rolland2014a: from mPers āp-reḫ ‘ewer, jug’.

▪ Jeffery1938: 46-47. Q 56:18 ‘ewer, jug’, only in the pl. form in an early Meccan ‎description of Paradise. »It was recognized as a Pers loan-word and is given by al-Kindī [details], ‎al-Ṯaʕālibī [det.], al-Suyūṭī [fn] and al-Jawālīqī [fn] in their lists of Pers borrowings, as well as by ‎the Lexicons LA [det.], TA [det.] though some attempted to explain it as a genuine Ar word ‎derived from √BRQ. – In modPers, the word is ābrīz meaning ‘urn’ or ‘waterpot’. It ‎would be derived from āb ‘water’ (= Phlv āβ, i.e. oPers. āpi = Av…; Skt… aqua), and ‎‎rīḫtan (= Phlv rēχtăn from the old Iranian root *raek = linquere) […] generally accepted since ‎the time. It was from the Phlv form that the word was borrowed into Ar, the shortening of the ‎‎ā being regular. The word occurs in the early poetry, in verses of ʕAdī b. Zayd, ʕAlqama, and al-‎ʔAʕšā, and so was doubtless an early borrowing among the Arabs who were in contact with the ‎court at al-Ḥīra.«
▪ EALL : from mPers ābrēz (Asbaghi, “Persian Loanwords”).
▪ Rolland2014: from mPers āp-reḫ ‘ewer, jug’ (lit. water pourer) which is also the etymon of modPers āb-rez. 
▪ According to Lokotsch1927#894, Ar ʔībrīq (signifying particularly a pitcher with water used for the ritual ablutions prescribed in Islam) went into Tu (first attested in Kāşġarī, Dīvān-i Luġati't-Türk, 1073, as iwriḳ)1 , whence Rum ibric (pitcher), It bricco (coffee pot made of tin), Bulg Serb ibrik (ewer, jug, pitcher), Serb imbrik, Pol imbryk, imbryczek, Ukr imbryček (tea or coffee pot). 
► barīq, n., = ʔibrīq
