köken: From Middle High German borste, from Old High German borsta, bursta, from Proto-West Germanic *borstā, *burstā, an early stem variant of *bursti, whence German Bürste (“brush”), which compare. Both words originally meant “bristle”, the semantic distinction is a later development. Immediately cognate with Old Saxon bursta (also *borsta as evidenced by Westphalian Boarste, Buoste).
sow (female pig) · pig, slob (woman) · bitch, slut
çekim: çoğul cerdas
köken: Disputed. Perhaps from Late Latin setula, diminutive of Latin sēta, saeta (“thick hair”) (compare Italian setola (“bristle”)), but the initial and the liquid would be irregular. Anders proposes a source in Vulgar Latin cirra (“lock, tuft of hair”), from Latin cirrus, influenced by saeta. Also compare Aragonese cerra and Basque zerri (“pig”).
A Pedro no le mola nada hablar conmigo de su cerda. Está muy enamorado y no le gusta que me ría de él.
a single hair · hair (plurally) · a head of hair: locks, tresses
çekim: çoğul capillī · tamlayan capillī
köken: Apparently some diminutive form from the root of caput (“head”). May be cognate with Persian کوپله (kuple, “hair of head”) or Persian کوبله (kôbale).
