Etymology

Similar words across European languages include Proto-Germanic *eburaz (“boar”), Proto-Slavic *veprь (“boar”), and Latvian vepris (“castrated boar”). Given that these words cannot be related by regular sound correspondences, they are probably borrowed from a lost, unknown substrate language.[1]

The *a instead of *e in the Italic word possibly arose under the influence of *kapros (“goat”).
