Proto-Semitic

Etymology

Unknown. Perhaps cognate with Central Atlas Tamazight ⵉⵜⵔⵉ (itri) and Proto-Chadic *təra (whence Hausa tàurārṑ). Inheritance from Proto-Afroasiatic is possible, but a borrowing from Proto-Indo-European *h₂stḗr (star) has also been suggested, perhaps by way of an Anatolian language. However, this runs into phonetic and semantic problems that are difficult to resolve.
