) but there are Classical Greek records (in writing) which demonstrate the two roots of the word describing it as a cultured milk product.

You jump at the slightest opportunity to claim that everything is Greek and in the process make a dork of yourself because “Bourgouri” is actually a Cypriot word!
The Greeks use “Bligouri” or something like that, and it’s a wheat pilaf not a cereal like someone else said!
And btw, given that stupid Greeks couldn’t read or write until they met Cypriots, then the roots to all the words you’re on about is CYPRIOT not Greek!
Your ignorance has become legendary. - You might have to do one of your Myth-buster threads to expel that idea.
Anyway, clearly clueless as to how (Indo-European) words are derived form an ancient root. Or are you going to tell us the dialect of Greek you mangle is not Indo-European in origin?
The root of rizin and other rice-products:
ὄρυζα … rice (e.g. Oryza sativa) … hence rizi.
The root for bourgouri is from wheat:
πυρός … wheat; and βωλόπυρος … wheat cake and πυρογενής for 'derived from wheat'.
The root of yogurt or γιαούρτι
γάλα ... for milk; and curdled milk was γαλακτοπαγής. And to make into curd-like cheese was τυρόω.
hence: γάλα + τυρόω = γιαούρτι
The earliest recorded evidence for curdled milk was from classical Greek although it's obvious it was the sort of thing which emerged in many cultures, but only the Turks think they have a monopoly on this.
