Persian

Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Doesn't seem to be listed in ESIJa. Is this derived from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁- (“to fill”) or *peh₃- (“to drink”)? Is this a compound of some roots other than those listed earlier? Is this a substrate borrowing? Its dialectal nature seems to have pushed it under the radar of etymological studies.”
