[And in an immediately following post PG wrote:]
Ossetic has regular liquid dissimilation (if there are
two /r/'s in the same word, the first of them changes
to /l/).
*****GK: Would this mean that in an "Ossetic-type"
Iranian language the original assumed *pararya might
develop into "palarya"? I ask because of implications
in another context, which I will get to if the answer
is affirmative and forget if it is not.*****
