8 Foy, W., ‘Beiträge zur Erklärung der susischen Achaemenideninschriften’, ZDMG, LII, 1898. p. 599, n. 1. Justi in his review of Bartholomae had already rejected this rendering, because cows have no brows—an argument against which Foy replied that proper names need not carry a sense, if they consist of members of two compounded names that had a meaning and occurred already in the family (‘Altpersisch und Neuelamisch’, ZDMG, Liv, 1900, 360). Boisacq in his Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue grècque, fourth ed., Heidelberg, 1950, 733, took sides with Foy, though we have not met with other OP names containing -brūva (thus Boisacq) ~ ⋯φρ***ς, nor, for that matter, Greek ones. In canonical Pali, however, in the description of the body signs of a Mahāpurisa the words gopakhuma ‘having eyelashes like a heifer’ (Rhys Davids at Dīghanikaya, II, 18, 28; cf. iii, 144, 24) and its apparent equivalent ***lārapamha ‘with curved eyelashes’ (CPD; Ja,, v, 215, 8*; Vv., 752, perhaps also Ja., VI, 503, 15*; see also the Pali-English dictionary s.v. bhamuka and cf. Sanskrit arālapaksman) are found.Google Scholar
9 The extension in the Greek word continues, as we now know from the Mycenaean documents (vide Chadwick and Baumbach, ‘The Mycenaean Greek vocabulary’, Glotta, XLI, 1963, 253), an IE labiovelar, and not -gh as assumed formerly, though it does not make a difference in the end.

13 Walde-Pokorny, , Vergleichendea Wōrterbuch der indogermanischen Sprachen, ii, Berlin, 1927, 164 f.. had assumed various extensions of 8√bher ‘essen, verzehren’, which H. Frisk, Griechisches etymologisches Wōrterbuch, Heidelberg, 1970, s.v. φ⋯ρβω, regards as improbable. In Pokorny's Indogermanisches etymologisehes Wōrterbuch, Bern, 1959, φ⋯ρβω is no longer mentioned at all, whereas bhárvati is placed under 3√bher ‘mit einem scharfen Werkzeug bearbeiten, ritzen, schneiden, reiben, spalten’ (p. 133). p. 150: rtaχšaça: Ἀρταξ⋯ρξης, according to Hinz, means ‘etwa: “Reich der rechten Ordnung”’.
