"бөрө" meaning in Yakut

See бөрө in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: börö [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Turkic *bȫrü, probably "the grey one" (compare Yakut бороҥ (boroñ, “grey”)). It was an ancient superstition (at least in Eurasia, and possibly elsewhere) that saying the name of a feared animal would invoke that animal (see, for example, the Korean proverb "speak of a tiger and one appears"). See also the etymologies of English wolf (its cognates involve taboo name deformation) and Russian медведь (medvedʹ, “bear”) (literally "the honey-eater").
