▪ OrelStolbova1994#477: < Sem *ṯawr‑ ‘bull’. The authors also reconstruct AfrAs *čawVr‑ /*čVr‑ ‘bull’ and say that the initial *šs‑ in Eg continues AfrAs *č‑ . The Eg form may then represent the original AfrAs root while Sem reflects a secondary tension.
▪ Lipiński2001 thinks (with Diakonoff) that ṯawr can be segmented into root plus AfrAs »key consonant« ‑r for weak, tame animals, cf. also →ʔimmar , →baqar , →ḥimār , karr , ʕayr , →ʔayyil , →ǧamal .
