Βόρασπος

Borrowed from Iranian, possibly composed from the elements *bawrah (“bay, brown”) + *Hácwah (“horse”), via Late Old Median *Bōraspah, alongside earlier Βουρασπος (Bouraspos), cognate with Late Old Persian *Bōrasiyah (whence borrowing Elamite 𒁍𒆜𒊺 (bu-raš-še /⁠Buraše⁠/)). Alternatively borrowed via Proto-Scythian *Bōraspi.
