Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Uncertain; possibly borrowed from a substrate language,[1] or perhaps from Proto-Balto-Slavic *bāˀrāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂-reh₂ (“shiny; something shiny”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to shine”); compare Proto-Slavic *bolto (“swamp”), traditionally derived from *bʰel- (“shiny, white”), as also *bělь (“swampy meadow”), though also likely of substrate origin instead. The p- forms in Lower Sorbian and Polabian are closer to the Lithuanian pur̃vas (“mud”) and Latvian pùrvs (“bog”), Sudovian puro (“swamp”).
