ܢܺܝܙܳܪܳܐ nyzrʾ nizārā scimitar
This Syr. term surely contains MP *nēz lance, spear: cf. MP nēzag lance and the previous entry; however, its formation it is not perfectly clear: perhaps from MP *nēz(ag)-war; cf. NP nēza-var armed with a spear, a spearman (Steingass 1442), and Arm. LW nizakawor id. (Hübschmann AG 204, no. 442); as regards NP nēza-var Hübschmann cit. compares OP aršti-bara- spear-bearer (Kent 1953, 172) ◆ PS Suppl. 211
