OK. this is because vassil Karloukovski had communicated to me:

 << ...DObrev also has the old syrian BLEHARO - a fine leather, in a
I-II c. AD dictionary of old syriac, which according to Dobrev comes
to show they had this industry even before their moving to Europe.
..>>

so this gives the ZDMG article as a reference. I don't know what
thesaurus syriacus is quoting, but that in itself is a late 19th
century syriac - latin dictionary,


so there is no ble*kh*arw but ble*ph*arw. ... and evidently they are
talking about diseased eyelids and not bulghar leather!
