There's an Arabic word close to this, بحارين /beharin/ seas.
It is from arabic. 40% of all the words have arabic origin.
Not very sure about 40%, but I'm trying to point out similarities wherever I find them :-)
Just a small sample of common words! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5paDwD9J28E
Why is "Will they go in the ocean tomorrow?" marked wrong?
