It is well known that MP ‑tār/‑dār, forming agent nouns (and a few passive nominals as well), lost its productivity in early new Persian and later stages of Persian. Most of the Persian words ending in ‑(t)ār, derived from Middle Persian agent nouns, must have changed their meaning early, becoming abstract nouns (cf. MP guftār ‘speaker’ [= QQ gftʾr ‘id.’] > Prs. goftār ‘speech’). (...) One may mention at least one West Iranian area where ‑ār is still productive: in Xoʾini, agent nouns are formed by adding ‑ār to the present stem of the verb, e.g. xarašār ‘seller’, reše gerār ‘bribe taker’, etc.
