barrel

Etymology
From, from , , , of uncertain origin. An attempt to link baril to 🇨🇬 (compare 🇨🇬) via assumed 🇨🇬 meets the phonological requirement, but fails to connect the word semantically. The alternate connection to, or , from , , from , is more plausible as it connects not only the form of the word but also the sense; equivalent to. Compare also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. More at bear.
