Etymology

Recalling Messenian τράγος (trágos, “wild fig-tree”) and Latin caprificus (“wild fig-tree”), Prellwitz compared an old word for "billy-goat", which is also found in ἔριφος (ériphos, “kid, young goat”). According to Chantraine and Schwyzer, however, the word is Pre-Greek. According to Blažek, it is Hurrian 𒄑𒂊𒊑𒅎𒁉 (GIŠe-ri-im-bi /⁠erimbi⁠/), 𒄑𒂊𒊑𒁉 (GIŠe-ri-bi /⁠eribi⁠/, “cedar”), suffixed from Akkadian 𒄑𒂞 (GIŠERIN /⁠erēnu, erinnu⁠/, “cedar”), from Sumerian 𒄑𒂞 (GIŠERIN /⁠eren⁠/).
