Though Fraenkel assumed that the Arabic word is genuine and not a loan, likely a perhaps early loan from a byform of Aramaic שֵׁירָא / ܫܶܐܪܳܐ (šērā), see the exposure at ش ج ر (š-j-r). Juxtapose قُلْب (qulb, “bracelet”) for a Syriac loan. Compare also دُمْلُوج (dumlūj).

سوار • (sovâr, savâr) (plural سواران (sovâr, savârân))
Borrowed from Classical Persian سوار (sawār, “rider”), from Old Persian 𐎠𐎿𐎲𐎠𐎼 (a-s-b-a-r /asabāra-/, “horseman”), from Proto-Iranian *Hacwabāráh, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Haćwabʰāras.
