bark

Meaning:
building; memorial building; household property

In commemorative inscriptions the word is interpreted as a memorial building, while another interpretation takes it as grave goods. Its wider semantic range includes household property and a dwelling. Kashgari records it only in the pairing ev barq “house and home”, and states that it is not used independently.
