Sanskrit
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-Aryan *pratʰamás, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *pratʰamás. Cognate with Avestan 𐬟𐬭𐬀𐬙𐬆𐬨𐬀 (fratəma), Old Persian 𐎳𐎼𐎫𐎶𐎠 (f-r-t-m-a), Old Armenian փարթամ (pʻartʻam). Replaces expected *pra-tamá, which would be the regular superlative of प्र (prá, “forward, in front, forth”).
