possible cognates

While Pârsa means "Persian", Parsa (zero grade, so really Pårsa/Prsa) has a connotation of "search, read." Thinking this may be related to Greco-Latin word parse and Farsi porsidan "to ask".


Also, wondering if there is a relation between greek "pedia" and Farsi "peyda" (to find)
