Persian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
A very early manuscript error—influenced by فرنگ (farang, “European”)?—in the Shahnameh for *فریگیس (farīgīs), attested as فَرِيكِيس (farīkīs) in an early translation of the Shahnameh into Arabic.[1] *فریگیس (farīgīs) is itself from a reversal of the constituents of Middle Persian [Term?] (/wispān-fryā/), from Old Median *vispafryā (literally “she who is dear to all”).[2]
Pronunciation[edit]

- (Iran, formal) IPA(key): [fæ.ɹæɲ.ɡʲíːs]
