#euskera is also characterized by a lot of hard sounds and if i didn't know them already

my favourite iberian indigenous names have to be burrus and reburrus. they never fail to make me giggle everytime i come across them
#they were quite popular as well. like so popular roman authors tended to use burrus to talk about iberians in general#kinda like using juan to talk about hispanics or idk pierre for french people#for non-hispanics#burro means donkey#it also means stupid#and we use 'reburro' to say someone is extra stupid#also this proves burro the word comes from prerroman times which <3#in my experience#almost all spanish words that don't have a clear origin and have a lot of 'rr' and other hard sounds are probably prerroman#(and most likely iberian tho it could be celtic)#arroyo and berrocal are two common examples as well#burro arroyo berrocal. you can see the similarities#also except burro they tend to be natural features and stuff which makes sense#an arroyo is a stream. a berrocal is a particular rock formation#this also proves at least for me the connection between ancient iberian languages as euskera#euskera is also characterized by a lot of hard sounds and if i didn't know them already#i'd think arroyo or berrocal were basque words
