Etymology

An ancient Mesopotamian Wanderwort; connected to Akkadian π’Œ‘π’Š‘π’…”π’‰‘ (uβ‚‚-ri-in-nu /⁠urinnu⁠/), and potentially Arabic ΨΊΩŽΨ±ΩŽΩ† (αΈ‘aran), and potentially further a borrowing from Proto-Semitic; see also 𒀉𒄷 (TIβ‚ˆmuΕ‘en /⁠arΓ», erû⁠/, β€œbird of prey”) and π’€€π’Šπ’Œ‹π’Œ‹ (a-ra-niΕ‘ /⁠arāniő⁠/, β€œeagle-like”). This is one of the terms of the alleged Euphratic substrate theory, which would give it connections to Hittite π’„©π’€€π’Šπ’€Έ (αΈ«a-a-ra-aΕ‘ /⁠ḫāraΕ‘, ḫāran-⁠/), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃érō (β€œeagle”). Concurring with the opinion of Pennsylvania State University's Dr. Rubio, the borrowing from multiple languages rather than a specific substratum is now the predominant viewpoint in the field.

Noun
