Also probably related to Ge'ez ሐሪሥ, ሐሪስ (ḥäriś, ḥäris, “rhinoceros”) (the source of Arabic حَرِيش (ḥarīš, “rhinoceros”) and some Cushitic words for the rhinoceros) since this is also called in Ge'ez አርዌ፡ ሐሪሥ, አርዌ፡ ሐሪስ (ʾärwe ḥäriś, ʾärwe ḥäris) which would be “beast of the mountains”; regard the distribution of this animal and juxtapose Ge'ez አርዌ፡ ምድር (ʾärwe- mədr, “snake”, literally “beast of the ground”); Tigre ሐሪሥ, አውራሪሥ (ḥäriś, ʾäwrariś, “rhinoceros”), Tigrinya ሐሪሥ, አውራሪሥ (ḥäriś, ʾäwrariś, “rhinoceros”), Amharic ሐሪስ, አውራሪስ (ḥäris, ʾäwraris, “rhinoceros”) and Ge'ez አውራርስ, አውራሐርስ, አውራሪስ (äwrarəs, ʾäwraḥärs, ʾäwraris, “rhinoceros”).",
