√ǦZR
carrot(s) – WehrCowan1979.
From Pers gazar ‘carrot(s)’ – DRS 2 (1994)#GZR-2, Rolland2014. Cf. however Rolland2015, where the author believes the word to be a re-import, since Pers gazar may be from Ar ↗ǧiḏr ‘root’.
DRS 2 (1994)#GZR-2: Syr gezārā ‘rave’, Mand gizar, Ar ǧazar, ǧizar ‘carotte’.
▪ See section CONCISE, above.
▪ Rolland2015b thinks that Pers gazar probably is from Ar ↗ǧaḏr ‘root’ and Ar ǧazar < Pers gazar therefore is a case of re-import. This hypothesis presupposes the import of carrots/roots from Arabia to Iran, not vice versa.
