Chor Chorschid (Persian.)

South Africa.—Giro (Kanga, Negro-land.)
Though the Zend, Pehlwi, and Persian are three kindred dialects of Persia, it will be observed that the Pehlwi and Persian words in this example, although clearly allied to the corresponding Zend word (Huere), resemble that word less than they do the American and African terms. On the other hand, the next example presents to us American and African words perfectly identical with this term (Huere).
Words for “The Sun” and “Day.”
Asia.—Huere, “The Sun,” (Zend.)
S. America.—Huarassi, “The Sun” and “Day,” (Omaguans.)
Africa.—Hor, Horus, i.e. “The God of Day,” (Egypt.)
