Etymology

From Illyrian. Widely connected to Albanian bardhë (white) and Messapic *barzides, although a more scrupulous investigation would note the unusual and rather early deaffricativisation of the original *-ǵ- into what Greek authors heard as -δ- (-d-). A noteworthy mention is also the similarity with the Illyrian tribe Bardaeī, which as variant of Vardaeī, Vardiaeī, Ἀρδιαῖοι (Ardiaîoi), Οὐαρδαῖοι (Ouardaîoi) points to the plosivisation of an original initial *w-.
