Elbrus

English

Etymology

The word is a metathesis of Alborz, which is ultimately derived from Harā Bərəzaitī, a legendary mountain in Iranian mythology. Harā Bərəzaitī reflects (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Iranian *Harā Bṛzatī. *Bṛzatī is the feminine form of the adjective *bṛzant (“high”), the reconstructed ancestor of modern Kurdish and modern Persian برز (borz, “high, tall”). Harā may be interpreted as "watch" or "guard", from an (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European root *ser- (“protect”). In Middle Persian, Harā Bərəzaitī became hlbwlc (Harborz), Modern Persian البرز (Alborz), which is cognate with Elbrus.
