1. thunder

From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value). Found widely very early on, so that Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (glʾnʾk' /⁠ɣarrānāg⁠/, “thunder”) is not at all attested in New Persian.

     ‏چو آواز او رعد غرنده نیست
     چو بازوی او تیغ برنده نیست‎

     čō āwāz-i ō ra'd ğurranda nēst
     čō bāzū-yi ō tēğ burranda nēst

     Thunder does not roar as well as his shouts,
     The blade does not cut as well as his arms.
