губер

Bulgarian

Etymology

Perhaps of Oghur origin, from Proto-Turkic *köbüŕ (“rug”). Mladenov alternatively theoretizes possible origin from dialectal гу́ба (gúba, “enfolding, wrapping”) +‎ -ер (-er), although suffix -ер (-er) typically yields agent nouns rather than instrumentals.

Pronunciation

гу́бер • (gúber) m

  1. thick rug, blanket (typically used as a covering for bed, coach; occasionally as tapestry for wall)
