Etymology

From Proto-Albanian *burnā, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰh₂u-ro-, from *bʰuh₂- (“to be, become”). Close to Old High German gibūro, German Bauer (“peasant”), English bower. Orel considers it a Germanic loanword, reconstructing Proto-Albanian *burá.[3] Possibly related to Thracian [script needed] (bur).
