Other forms: also βόρατον n. (D. S.); βορατίνη (Aq).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Compared with a Semitic word, Aram. berāt, Hebr. berōš, Assyr. burāšu `cypress'. Lat. bratus (Plin.), an Anatolian cypress. Lewy, Fremdw. 34, Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 1, 671. Fur. 187 thinks it is rather an Anatolian word, comparing κυπάρισσος - Hebr. gōfer; the suffix -ιν- might point in this direction. On the u-stem cf. μῶλυ, μίσυ, σῶρυ (Chantr. Form. 119), also δάκρυ = `resin' (Peripl. M. Rubr. 30).
