Barr- is a pre-Indo-European linguistic root meaning 'wooded hill', 'natural barrier'.〔Éric Vial, ''Les noms de villes et de village'', Belin, 1983, ISBN 2-7011-0476-9〕 In addition to the common noun bar, it explains many place names as: * Barr, commune of Alsace, France. * Bar, commune of Corrèze, Limousin, France, * Bar-sur-Aube and Bar-sur-Seine, communes of Aube, Champagne, France, * Bar-le-Duc, commune of Lorraine, France, etc. but not Le Bar-sur-Loup, a former ''Albarn > Aubarn''. In Alps, the word applies to rocky escarpments: * la Barre des Écrins is a mountain in French Alps. This root should not be mistaken for the Basque root Bar- / ibar 'valley'. ==Notes and references== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barr (placename element)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
