Nartik, Dan, Persian Etymology

Just a quick language connection.

R' Davidi mentioned today the persian word for quiver is teerdan, the dan part meaning holder and the teer meaning arrow. If so it's beautiful with the gm' in Sanhedrin on the Pasuk "Lo Yadon Ruchi Ba'Adam l'Olam, B'Shagam Hu Basar". v'dok.


Also in persian, one of the terms for the sun is chorshi which is coming from the hebrew cheres חרס --
האומר לחרס לא תזרח (איוב) ט
