ירה
- /jaˈʁa/ Modern Israeli
- [jɔːˈʀ̟ɔː] Tiberian Hebrew
Where it comes from
From Proto-Semitic, and possibly Proto-Afroasiatic. Cognate with Akkadian 𒉿𒊒 (warû, “to show the way, to direct”), Amharic ወረወረ (wäräwärä, “to throw”) and Arabic روى (rawā, “to relate from memory, cause to memorize, to refer to a source”). Compare with Tigrinya ወረ (wärä, “news”), related to Somali war (“news”), from Proto-Cushitic *war (“report, news”). Akkadian 𒁀𒊒 (barû, “to oversee, to convey, to fortune tell”) and 𒉿𒊒 (warû) could have both evolved from an earlier root shared by ירה, encompassing the meanings “to relate, to oversee, to teach” and so on. Compare Somali bar (“to teach”).
