Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“brown”), either as an inheritance or more likely a borrowing from the Iranian cognate: compare Middle Persian [script needed] (bwl /bōr/, “reddish-brown, bay, chestnut (horse)”), Persian بور (bur) and possibly Khwarezmian [script needed] (rknβwryk, “hyena”). If the original meaning was 'fur of hyena', the word may contain the fur-suffix -ենի (-eni).
Noun
բորենի • (boreni)
- hyena
- 5th century, with changes and additions in later centuries, Baroyaxōs [Physiologus] Earliest recension (TR).27.2:[1]
- Բարոյախաւսն ասէ զբորենոյ, թէ արու եւ էգ է․ երբեմն արու լինի եւ երբեմն էգ։
- Baroyaxawsn asē zborenoy, tʻē aru ew ēg ē; erbemn aru lini ew erbemn ēg.
- Translation by Gohar Muradyan
- Physiologus says about the hyena that it is hermaphrodite: at times it becomes male and at times female.
- Բարոյախաւսն ասէ զբորենոյ, թէ արու եւ էգ է․ երբեմն արու լինի եւ երբեմն էգ։
