يعر

يَعْر (noun)

Etymology: Unclear. In Psalm 29:9 once plural יְעָ֫ר֥וֹת (yəʿārōṯ) after אַיָּלוֹת (ʾayyālōṯ, “hinds”), assumed by dint of comparativism a likely later misvocalized plural of a יַעֲרָה (yaʿărā, “kid”)—distinguished from homonymous “honeycomb”, an assumed nomen unitatis of יַעַר (yaʿar, “honeycombs”) found in the construct state יַעְרַת (yaʿəraṯ) in 1 Samuel 14:27—, while it has thus far plausibly been translated as the plural of יַעַר (yaʿar, “forest”). There is also Tigre ወርዔ (wärʿe, “mountain goat”), the consonant order of which corresponds to a word the Arabic lexicographers give as يَرَع (yaraʕ, “youngs of wild cows, أَوْلَادُ بَقَرِ الْوَحْشِ (ʔawlādu baqari al-waḥši)”), compare also يَرَاع (yarāʕ) given as a synonym of بَعُوض (baʕūḍ). If it is not instead the lost descendant of Proto-Semitic *waʕil- (“ibex”) the Arabic term must be, as many names for baby animals, deemed a borrowing from Aramaic, owing to the Northwest Semitic w → y change.

Meaning: offspring of a goat, kid
