√ǦWR
pit, hole – WehrCowan1979.
Loan word of uncertain origin. According to Rolland2014a, it is from Pers gor ‘tomb, grave’, an etymology not given in DRS; Klein thinks that it is »perhaps formed from gwr (= to sojourn, dwell)’«.
▪ DRS 2 (1994)#GWR-6: nHbr mᵉgūrā ‘grange, magasin’; ? Ar ǧuwār- ‘caverne’.
▪ According to Rolland2014a, Ar ǧūraẗ ‘pit, hole’ is from Pers gor ‘tomb, grave’, an etymology not given in DRS (#GWR-6) where Ar ǧuwār is paralleled, though not without hesitation, with nHbr mᵉgūrā ‘granary, storehouse, reservoir’, an item that for Klein 1987 is »of uncertain origin; perhaps formed from gwr (= to sojourn, dwell)’«.
