horreum

Pompeius Festus linked it in De Verborum with far (HORREUM: antiqui dicebant farreum a farre), yet there is no documental evidence of that outside his work.

Modern etymologists link it to Latin hordeum (“barley”) and, thus, to Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰr̥sdeyom (“bristly”).

Corriente derives from Egyptian mẖr (“store-house, granary”), Coptic ⲁϩⲟⲣ (ahor, “store-house, granary”), from which the same word was later borrowed into Romance via Arabic هُرْي (hury) of the same meaning.
