In a previous article I have connected Sanskrit and Pali bharu “sea” and Pali maru “desert”, “sand-desert”, and have shown that these words were probably borrowed by Indo-Aryan from one or several non-Aryan languages. Malay baroh denotes “low-lying country”, “sea-shore”, “sea”. The dialects of the Malay Peninsula have baruh “plain”, “flatland”, baruk, barok “shore”, and bâruh “sea”. Sometimes the initial is reduced. In Bahnar âr denotes “marsh”, “swampy district”, or “low-lying damp terrain near to watercourses”. Annamite has preserved the initial, but the final liquid has become i: *bar > bai “coast”, “shore”, “strand”.

page 613 note 2 M. Jules Blooh calls my attention to the fact that with Bahnar âr, or, we can connect Bengali haor “delta marsh-land”.
page 614 note 1 M. Marcel Cohen calls my attention to Guèze (Classic Ethiopian) baḥr “stretch of water” and Amharic baraha “desert”.

page 620 note 2 As concerns the hesitation between the initials b and v note, for example, the root barh. ṚV. has b in the forms with ni, v when the root is preceded by ā, ud, pra, while TS. and Śat.-Br. always have b with ā and v with ud. Cf. PW., s.v.
