تالار

Persian

Etymology

Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *trab-, *treb- (“dwelling, room”). Cognate with Manichaean Middle Persian tlwʾr (talawār, “hall, tabernacle”), and Mazanderani تلار‎ (telâr, “barn”). Related to Persian طربال‎ (tarbâl, “monastery”), Persian تلیبار‎ (talibâr, “a hut used for breeding silkworms”) and perhaps (dialectal) Persian طنبی‎ (tanabi, “hall”).
