бәрәс

Bashkir

Etymology

Compare Tatar бәрән (bärän, lamb).

Appears to be of a substrate/onomatopoeic origin, compare Bashkir бәр-бәр (bər-bər, a call for sheep).

Possibly from (para-)Iranic substratum, compare Persian بره (barre, lamb), Middle Persian [script needed] (bārān, sheep, lamb), from Proto-Indo-European *urh₁en- (lamb).
