Particle[edit]

مر (mar)

  1. (Classical Persian, obsolete) Occurs before a word or phrase followed by را (), the accusative-dative-genitive marker. [rare after 12th c.]
    مرین مرد را گفتم. (obsolete)
    mar în mard râ guftam.
    I told this man.
    • c. 1080, Nāṣir-i Khusraw, “Qaṣīda 4”, in دیوان ناصرخسرو [Dīvān of Nāṣir-i Khusraw]‎[7]:
      سلام کن ز من ای باد مر خراسان را
      مر اهل فضل و خرد را نه عام نادان را
      salām kun zi man ay bād mar xurāsān rā
      mar ahl-i fazl u xirad rā na āmm-i nādān rā
      O wind, send my greetings to Khurāsān,
      To its wise and excellent men, not to the ignorant masses.
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
    1. Used redundantly with را, with no additional meaning.
    2. that very, only; used with a restrictive sense.
    3. Used to denote that را is being used for an indirect object, especially in later usage when را became increasingly associated with the direct object.
  2. (obsolete) In later texts, sometimes used without را simply for archaic effect, without any semantic meaning.

Borrowed from Arabic مُرّ (murr).
