I see there the rom. "abur" in connection with the Greek god of the wind
"Boreas".
In an extended semantic way, I will put here some other words as
"burĂ£"(dizzle, to dizzle) explained by DEX as like the Serbo-Croatian &
Bulgarian "bura", the word "boare"(breeze, there is no verb just the
noun) expl. by DEX as from Latin "boreas".
Which is the etymology of Greek god's name "Boreas"?
