Akkadian: pāru, parru, bāru 'Haut' SB on [AHw 836]. According to Soden, a SUM loanword [ibid.] (cf. SUM bar 'Fell, Haut; Schale; Schuppe' [IK 112-13]), which is hardly so in view of SEM cognates
Hebrew: parwā 'fur'
Syrian Aramaic: partā (pl. parrē) 'furfur; folliculus, gluma (seminis); squama capitis' [Brock 591]
Arabic: farwat- 'peau de la tête' [BK 2 588]; farw- 'pelisse, vêtement doublé de fourrure' [ibid.]
Geʕez (Ethiopian): farra 'to shell, husk' [LGz 166]
Tigre: (?) färwät 'sheepskin coat' [LH 658]; rather an Arabism
Notes: Note various strategies of triconsonantizing: doubling of the second radical in AKK (parru), SYR and GEZ, and adding -w as a third radical in ARB (and TGR unless an Arabism). In GEZ, only a derived verb retained
