Talk:фурд

Untenable Etymology
By no known sound changes in the evolution of Ossetic can *ȷ́ráyas yield форд.

Rather we have, from Johnny Cheung:

“ < *paruta-; Av. paurata- name of a certain country or water, “Sc.” Πόρατα (Hdt.) name of a river, Khz. pwrd (m.) ‘sea’, Russ. Πрут ‘the river Prut’ (< “Sc.”).” 2602:306:C4CE:A0E9:9DA7:FB4F:4BE4:C6E1 04:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
