Tocharian A[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Tocharian *pä́rwë, from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥h₂wós, from *per- (“in front, before”). Compare (cognate to Sanskrit पूर्व (pūrva), Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬎𐬭𐬬𐬀 (paurva), Old Church Slavonic прьвъ (prĭvŭ), Albanian parë); the final -t was added as in other ordinal numbers, and a similar process is visible in English first, Old English fyrest, equivalent to English fore + -est). Compare Tocharian B parwe.
