Etymology[edit]

Cognate with Cornish paragh.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “GPC doesn't give further etymology. This looks like a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *per- (to cross, pass, carry forth), probably via a Latin borrowing, as the word can't derive from Proto-Celtic into the above PIE root via sound laws.”

Pronunciation[edit]

Verb[edit]

parhau (first-person singular present parhaf)

  1. (intransitive) to continue, to endure, to last
