Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Borrowed from a (likely Iranian) descendant of Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hargʰás, compare Sanskrit अर्घ (argha, “worth, value”). In the past assumed to have been inherited from Proto-Finno-Ugric *arwa which in turn would have been borrowed from Indo-Iranian, and thus cognate with Hungarian ár, but the Hungarian word is more likely a parallel borrowing.
