Ultimately perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *bew-, *bʰew- (“to swell”) (whence also bozt) with a suffix -rā- whence Proto-Baltic *burā- whence the Latvian term with the initial meaning of “that which inflates”. It is possible that the Lithuanian term is a borrowing from Latvian (Nieminen, Fraenkel). Of the same origin are the dialectal terms būra, būris (“crowd”), compare Lithuanian būrỹs (“crowd”), Sanskrit भूरि (bhū́ri, “plentiful; numerous”). [The usual meaning of būris (“cage”) is unrelated, this is a borrowing from Middle Low German.] A different opinion (Pokorny, Endzelīns) is that this term is to be linked with Ancient Greek φᾶρος (phâros), later form φάρος (pháros, “fabric, canvas”) from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to weave”) or, according to a different opinion (Mikola, Nieminen, Fraenkel), the term is borrowed from Livonian pūŗaz (< *purri), compare Finnish purje (“id.”) However, no forms with p- have been recorded in Latvian dialects. This term was introduced in the literary language (from some dialect) during the 1870s by K. Valdemārs, before that the typical term for a sail was zēģele, from Middle Dutch zegel or Middle Low German segel (“sail”). Karulis assumes that bura must have been a Curonian word noting similarities with the Kursenieki (Latvian language enclaves around the Curonian Lagoon, former East Prussia) terms bur(-a) and burpils “crooked or hollowed out piece of wood for sprinkling sails with water”, where -pils from pilt “to bail (i.e., scoop water)”. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbuɾa] === Noun === bura f (4th declension) sail ==== Declension ==== === References === == Malay == === Etymology === From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *buʀah, from Proto-Austronesian *buʀəS. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bu.ra/ (schwa-variety) IPA(key): [ˈburä], [ˈburə] Rhymes: -ura, -ra, -a === Verb === bura (Jawi spelling بورا) to spit out; to eject to spray (Singapore) to be chucked out to pillory ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Indonesian: bura === Further reading === "bura" in Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu (PRPM) [Malay Literary Reference Centre (PRPM)] (in Malay), Kuala Lumpur: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, 2017 == Old Norse == === Noun === bura genitive plural of burr == Polish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈbu.ra/ Rhymes: -ura Syllabification: bu‧ra Homophone: Bura === Etymology 1 === Back-formation from burka. ==== Noun ==== bura f (colloquial) rebuke Synonyms: obryw, obskok, ochrzan, opeer, reprymenda ===== Declension ===== === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Adjective ==== bura feminine nominative/vocative singular of bury === Further reading === bura in Wielki słownik języka polskiego, Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN bura in Polish dictionaries at PWN Słownik etymologiczny języka polskiego/bura on the Polish Wikisource.Wikisource pl == Romanian == === Alternative forms === бура (bura) — post-1930s Cyrillic spelling === Etymology === Possibly a substrate word. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /buˈra/ Rhymes: -a Hyphenation: bu‧ra === Verb === a bura (third-person singular present burează, past participle burat) 1st conjugation to drizzle ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== burare === References === Paliga, Sorin (2024), An Etymological Dictionary of the Romanian Language, New York: Peter Lang, →ISBN, page 206 == Romansh == === Alternative forms === bora (Surmiran) === Noun === bura f (plural buras) (sports, Sutsilvan) ball ==== Synonyms ==== (Rumantsch Grischun, Sursilvan, Surmiran, Puter, Vallader) balla == Serbo-Croatian == === Etymology === Inherited from Proto-Slavic *buřa, akin to Bulgarian and Russian буря (burja), Slovene burja, Slovak búrka and búrať (“to crush”).
