Reconstruction:Proto-Iranian/jā́rd
Proto-Iranian
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰā́rd, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱḗr.
Noun
*jā́rd ~ *jr̥dáh n
Reconstruction notes
According to Kümmel, the Shughni form must come from the strong nominative singular *jā́rd.[1] With that in mind, it seems probable that the other Shughni-Yazghulami cognates must also come from the same form. On the other hand, the Avestan and all other Iranian descendants instead come from the zero-grade weak stem.
