Etymology 2[edit]

Unknown.[1][2][3] Perhaps originally meaning swansdown and borrowed from Iranian: compare Persian پر قو (par qu),[4] Gilaki [script needed] (pə́rə ɣu),[5] Judeo-Tat пәргу,[6] Talysh ғо пәр (ğo pǝr),[7] all meaning "swansdown" and containing the word for "bird's down" from Proto-Indo-Iranian *parnám (wing, feather) and the word for "swan" (Persian قو (qu)). Note especially Persian پریقو (pariqu) glossed as "swan" in Steingass,[8] if not a mistake for "swansdown". For a transfer between animal name and its product compare սամոյր (samoyr), տիկ (tik), բորենի (boreni).
