ارن

Kashgari writes that he believes this word is a Persian borrowing, related to Persian ویران (virân). According to mainstream consensus, borrowed from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾwylʾn' /⁠awērān⁠/).^[1][2][3] Ayverdi's rejection of this derivation is not supported by other sources. ^[4]
