Etymology

Possibly by suffixing Proto-Kartvelian *ṗir- (mouth, face; forward-facing) with the word-forming affix *-el. Cf. პირი (ṗiri, face), პირდაპირ (ṗirdaṗir, opposite; straight ahead). Typologically compare Old Armenian առաջին (aṙaǰin, first) deriving from առաջ (aṙaǰ, front part; front, anterior). Surprisingly similar with Proto-Slavic *pьrvъ and other IE words for «first», descended from Proto-Indo-European *per(in front).
