פְּרוֹוָר, פַּרְבָּר, and periphery

By pure accident, I've seen this spelling in Google: פְּרוֹוָר (full vocalization: פְּרוֹוָר.) I think, I've never seen it beforehand, or maybe it just never drew my attention. Somehow I used to read it "parvar" with the V-sound, but the only spelling I've ever seen was פַּרְבָּר. I looked at Wikipedia then, and discovered couple of interesting things.

Apparently, the spelling פַּרְבָּר is supposed to be pronounced "parbar" with B (which makes sense from the perspective of traditional syllable structure etc), full vocalization: פַּרְבָּר

In fact, if most common pronunciation is "parvar", then פְּרוֹוָר would definitely make a better spelling.

If this is first time you see this word, it means "suburbs".

In Tanakh though we can find both spellings, and both pronunciations (Chronicles 1, 26:18 for פַּרְבָּר and Kings 2, 23:11 for פְּרוֹוָר.)

The word is obviously borrowed, and according to Wikipedia, the origin can be tracked to ancient Persian, and consists of two parts: "pari" ("around") and "peri" (to carry), which are relatives of the Greek words περί and φέρω, and that's where the modern word "periphery" comes from, while its meaning is quite close to that of פְּרוֹוָר.

Interesting. I like to discover things related to history, etymology, etc.
