bari (plural baris)

1. (colloquial, music) A baritone saxophone
   • 2000 November 24, Neil Tesser, “Baritone Nation”, in Chicago Reader‎:

     A basic 17-piece jazz orchestra never uses more than one bari; to see four lined up in a row you'd usually have to go to an instrument repair shop.

2. (colloquial, barbershop music) A baritone (singer)

• bari sax

• Abir, Bair, Bria, RAIB, RIBA, abir, abri, rabi, riba

Back-formation from plural barinjë, from earlier *bar, from Proto-Albanian *bara, from Proto-Indo-European *bher- (“to carry”). Compare Old High German baro (“man, husband”).^[1] A connection with ari (“bear”) has also been proposed (compare Basque hartz (“bear”) and Basque artzain (“shepherd”)), though ari was originally arth prior to the loss of the -th ending by mistake.
