بوری

From a putative Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (*bwlyk' /⁠bōrīg⁠/) suffixed from [Book Pahlavi needed] (bwl /⁠bōr⁠/) becoming modern بور (bur, “red, bay; blond”) – compare Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (bwlk' /⁠*bōrag⁠/) reflected in modern بوره (bure, “borax”).

بوری • (buri)

1. blond

• → Georgian: ბური (buri) — Fereydan

This word is native in Ottoman Turkish بورو (boru) and Azerbaijani boru.

• بورو (buru)

بوری • (buri)

1. trumpet; hunting horn
2. point (especially of a nail)

• →? Thai: บุหรี่ (bù-rìi)

Looks like an Aramaic borrowing of the same word that we describe under Arabic بُرْدِيّ (burdiyy). The existence of “buri mats” in the Philippines from the buri palm (Tagalog burí) must be a coincidence, unless the naming can be supposed to have been imported in a similar fashion as the name of the fibre-offering abaca plant from Arabic أَبَق (ʔabaq).
