puer (uncountable)
From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of 普洱 (pǔ'ěr), without syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號/隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)).
Puer can be considered a misspelling of pu'er. In theory, a syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號/隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, puer is not allowed since a word made up of pu and er would be spelled as pu'er (cf. pu'er). In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.
puer (plural puers)
From Proto-Italic *puweros, from Proto-Indo-European *ph₂weros, from *peh₂w-. Cognate with Oscan 𐌐𐌖𐌂𐌋𐌖𐌌 (puglum), Ancient Greek παῖς (paîs, “boy”).
