Etymology

Back-formation from plural barinjë, from earlier *bar, from Proto-Albanian *bara, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to carry”). Compare Old High German baro (“man, husband”). A connection with ari (“bear”) has also been proposed, though ari was originally arth prior to the loss of the -th ending by mistake.
