Like the alphabet, a b c is spelled out ay be ce, however
Vล TASPHYA was probably pronounced Viลกtฤspahayฤ or Viลกtฤspahyฤ but certainly not
vi-ลกa-ta-a-sa-pa-ha-ya-a. Calling the old persian alphabet oeldee peeeresiayen syllabus with empty dummy vowels is [dummy linguistics](bad linguistics). Granted, some consonants did have vowel affinities, similar to the affinity of q to u. So in the iranian system one would probably write QRT and KRT for court and cart.

The fact that many persian forms are much closer to germanic forms than to other PIE languages is important: it matches well with the distribution of R1a and R1b (some forms are closer to german, some are english).
The existence of this Indo Germanic branch is a strong indicator that the Yamnaya expansion was just the northern wave of Indo European, deeper layers in southern europe were likely carried by EEF and CHG ancestry and only partially updated by the yamnaya branch which took much influence from EHG populations who likely spoke proto Uralic, Altaic and Turk.

R1b words, which are missing in R1a german:
saheล‚ shore
fe'l vowel verb
saxs person
