[Mesorah] Another one

[Toby Katz]

Thank you for the transliteration.
.
I don't think samech is a letter that is ever added to a shoresh.  Sav (tav), mem, yud maybe others?  But not samech.
.
My feeling is that parnes is not Semitic at all but from some other language, perhaps Persian.  I think every four-letter shoresh is not originally Semitic but I don't know that for sure.

RnTK, the two words in RSM's post were "avuqah" and pei-raish-nun-samech.
 
RSM et al., I've seen RSRH generally write about the nun-sofis being an addition to the root (you would know better than I who else has done so over the centuries).  I don't know what to do w/ the samech, but seems to me that pirneis, parneis, parnasah, and the like all can be considered as "pei-reish + addition" and that their common-denominator meaning of "providing" may be due to the same shoresh that is the basis of "p'ru [urvu]."  Just my penny's worth :).
