## Notes

Proto-MSA \*prd 'to flee in panic' (SEDonline 1489). Leslau plausibly connects it with PS \*prd 'to be separated'; Syr. prad 'to flee' and Akk. parādu 'to be fearful, disturbed' show the same shift (Kogan 2015:567–568 apud SEDonline 1489). Cf. 3260 \*prd 'to be separated, to separate; to distinguish, to judge'.
