I haven't found this word **çara
I found sara and many others.
By the way, Sanscrit
sara also means salt, lake,
as in Permic zar "sea"
So we have
saru "arrow" = Mongol zoruGa "arrow"
sara "salt, lake" = Permic zar "sea"
I don't think this is a LW _from_ IA

There is also an Asiatic genetic intrusion in Europeans : Xena
caused by Germanic becoming European.
