Proto-Turkic

Etymology

Possibly borrowed from Northeastern Iranian, from Proto-Iranian *Hr̥pā́š (barley), or perhaps Tocharian, both from Proto-Indo-European *h₂élbʰit. Alternatively from *ar- (to multiply oneself, be numerous), whence Old Turkic (arka, multitude, crowd). The term appears to be related to Proto-Mongolic *arbaï (barley) as well, possibly through borrowing. Compare also Mongolian арвай (arvaj), Dongxiang apa.
