metadata.value: The Greek grammarian and lexicographer, Hesychius of Alexandria (5th–6th c. CE) included
  a Pamphylian gloss: βουρικυπάρισσος ἡ ἄμπελος. Περγαῖοι in his dictionary of rare and dialectal
  words. Based on a microphilological and lexical analysis, I suggest that the Greek text
  should be read as follows: βουρίꞏ κυπάρισσος ἢ ἄμπελος. Περγαῖοι (“bourí: cypress or grapevine.
  Citizens of Perge”). The Pamphylian gloss in question represents two different borrowings
  of terms originating in the Near East. The first item βουρίꞏ κυπάρισσος (‘cypress’) seems
  to have been borrowed from Akkadian burāšu(m) ‘a kind of conifer tree; juniper or cypress’
  with a Lycian intermediary (Akk. burāšu → Luw. *burašiš > Lyc. *burehi > *burhi → Pamph.
  βουρί), whereas the second one βουρίꞏ […] ἄμπελος (‘grapevine’) reflects a separate loanword
  from an Anatolian source, cf. Hitt. and Luw. muriš c. ‘a grapevine, a vine, a cluster or bunch
  of grapes or other fruit’. The Pamphylian dialect of Ancient Greek represents an extraordinary
  idiom, which was used in the neighbourhood of numerous Anatolian languages such as Lycian,
  Milyan, Sidetic, Pisidian and Cilician. It is therefore not surprising that the Pamphylian
  Greeks borrowed a number of cultural terms for plants from an Anatolian Indo-European
  source, as well as from Akkadian or other West Semitic languages via Luwian and Lycian. Additionally,
  other possible Anatolian borrowings into Ancient Greek (e. g. Gk. dial. βωληνή ‘a
  type of grapevine’, μῶλαξ ‘id.’ vs. Hittite maḫlaš c. ‘grapevine, Vitis vinifera L.’) are mentioned
  and reviewed.
