√BHR
a certain thing with which one weighs; the weight of three hundred / […] a thousand pounds / (one half of) a load borne by a camel; a camel-load of household-goods or furniture and utensils; commodities, utensils, of the sea; or, of merchants; […] a receptible (?) – Lane I (1863). Sac fait de peau de veau, sac fait de la peau du cou du chameau – Dozy I (1881)
▪ Relation to other items of √BHR unclear (if not to be excluded at all). Perhaps a loan from Copt?
▪ Lane I (1863): in the meaning ‘weight of three hundred pounds’ thought by A'Obeyd to be not Ar, but Copt (Ṣ), having this signification in Copt (JK), but thought by Az to be pure Ar.
▪ DRS 2 (1994), s.v. bhr _5: < copt. ?
