Alternative forms

Etymology

The word adhar derived from the Proto-Qantarie word atihara, meaning "person". It evolved into atihar in Old Qantarie, then into at'har (IPA: /ˈathaɹ/) in Classical Qantarie (or Middle Qantarie). The t'h evolved into θ (th) in Modern Qantarie (Qantarie Qaladharra); and because it is in between two identical vowels, it became ð (dh), hence adhar.
