So what is the conclusion from this thread?

Started by a Turk to insinuate we stole one of their dirty words. No GCs, BCs ar ACs have heard of, or used, such a word except as its English homonym.

Extrapolations reveal a propensity for the enforcement of a number of Turkish swear words to neighbours (Russians etc), in linguistic mimicry of their enforced invasions.

No good will come from Turkish rules ...

Run for the hills then (Don't forget totake plenty of water and have rests along the way...At your age!!)........Cause we are coming to get you!!!!!

Aaahh ... the same genocidal tactic you used on nearly 2 Million Armenian women and children ......

Hey.....You chased them our way so we chased them back......Seems like that now they are with you they are still unhappy about their status in Cyprus and Greece and will demand their rights along with us.......When are you going to chase them back again....

Who is being chased here? ..the Armenians? They have been in Cyprus for hundreds of years since the Byzantine days.

A "Greek" says so....

I don't know much Arabic, but have a book called 'A Glossary of Gulf Arabic' by Dr Hamdi Qafisheh. I find the following entry there:

barra (adverb) outside

with the following sample sentence:

Š-šeex tala9 barra The Shaikh went outside.

It seems plausible that this Arabic word is the source of the TC word 'barra'.

[denizaksulu]

I wonder if the word 'Baraka' (NOT 'bereket') means an 'outside house in TC?

[bill cobbett]

I wonder if the word 'Baraka' (NOT 'bereket') means an 'outside house in TC?

Baranga .... in kybraika (an outbuilding, often a little ramshackle)

[Get Real!]

Is the term "barra"(begone) a coomonly used word of TCs and GCs? Where comes the origin of this word?

Arabic

Credible source please

My ex-father in law who worked in Bahrain for many years and imported the word to Cyprus!

[Get Real!]

The only barra I know means a goal post.

And a purported brand or quality of potatoes pre-war called "Arra-Mbarra"!

Who else remembers that?
