Usage notes
edit- The replacement of the Persian word ‘andiše’ (thought) with ‘pendâr’ (imaginative thought / supposition) is believed to be a recent poetic adjustment such that all nouns end in ‘-âr’. ‘pendâr’, ‘goftâr’, and ‘kerdâr’. Andiše more accurately covers the meaning of the Avestan ‘humata’.
