All these forms are regularly derived from Proto-Toch. *p&r'&-/*p&rë- <
*bHér-e-/*bHér-o-. The generalisation of a dispalatalised *p- across the
paradigm is Proto-Tocharian (and not unusual there). The positional loss
of reduced vowels is a dialectal affair within Tocharian, cf. the
different treatment of parallel forms in Toch.A and B:

*bHér-o-m&1no- > PToch. *p&rëmanë > Toch.A pärma:M, Toch.B premane
