barn owl (any species of owl from the family Tytonidae)
çekim: çoğul lechuzas
köken: From Old Spanish nechuza, influenced by leche (“milk”) due to a popular belief that owls “breastfeed” human infants at night. Coromines supposes that Old Spanish nechuza developed via vowel dissimilation from an older *nochuza, a derivative of an also-unattested *nochua (as gentuza < gente), and that inherited from Latin noctua (“owl”).
barn owl, the bird Tyto alba · one of the eight unclean animals, whose identity is unknown. Further details are uncertain. Possibilities include: Probably the chameleon.
köken: From Proto-Italic *parezā, cognate with Umbrian parfa ‘sea-eagle?’, 𐌐𐌀𐌓𐌚𐌀𐌌 (parfam, acc. sg.), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *spḗr (“sparrow, bird”). Cognate with English sparrow.
