Etymology 1
From Parthian 𐫢𐫇𐫡 (šwr /šōr/); compare with Middle Persian [script needed] (swr /sōr/). cognate with Northern Kurdish şor, sûr, Central Kurdish سوێر (swêr), Baluchi شور (šōr, šowr), Baluchi سور (sowr), Harzani سور (sür) and Pashto ښرنه (x̌arǝ́na, “saline”). Perhaps from Proto-Iranian *sauraH (“salty”), from Proto-Indo-European *súHros (“sour; salty”).
