From Middle Persian bʾl (bār, “bank, shore”).

Could it be derived from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“to strike, pierce”)? The PIE root usually refers to piercing, but some of its descendants seem to refer to striking or cutting instead. This seems semantically feasible, as "sliced" things are often thin, and the root does seem amply attested in Iranian.[2]”
