Harā Bərəzaitī, literally meaning "High Watchpost", is the name given in the Avestan language to a legendary mountain around which the stars and planets revolve. ==Etymology and derived names== Harā Bərəzaitī reflects Proto-Iranian *Harā Bṛzatī. Harā may be interpreted as "watch" or "guard", from an Indo-European root *ser- "protect". *Bṛzatī is the feminine form of the adjective *bṛzant- "high", which is cognate with Celtic brigant- (as in the Brigantes) and with Germanic burgund- (as in the Burgundians). Hence 'Harā Bərəzaitī' "High Watchpost." The mountain has several secondary appellations, including ''Haraitī'' "the guarding one" (feminine), ''Taēra'' "peak" (Middle Persian ''Tērag'') and ''Hukairya'' "of good deeds" (Middle Persian ''Hukar''). * 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「Hara Berezaiti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
