@Vahagn Petrosyan It is similar to Parthian 𐫛𐫇𐫡𐫤 (pwrt /⁠purt⁠/) from the oblique stem Old Iranian *pr̥θw-. But like պաշտպան, It shows an output -ար- (-ar-) from Proto-Iranian *r̥.--Calak (talk) 11:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Calak, the problem is not the -ար- (-ar-) but հ- (h-). PIE *p- does yield Armenian հ- (h-), as in հայր (hayr), but this sound change was long over when the Iranian borrowings started. --Vahag (talk) 12:36, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
