چکیده:
Over time, some words undergo semantic changes due to influence from various factors. Sometimes an ancient concept falls so deeply under the shadow of a familiar and well-known meaning that its original meaning is generally hidden from memory. In the reading and especially the correction of ancient texts, paying attention to this matter can be useful and enlightening. In Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, which is a treasure trove rich in ancient Persian vocabulary, such instances occasionally appear. The word 'Dalir' in the Shahnameh, in addition to its well-known meaning of brave, fearless, and bold, is also used in the sense of 'warrior, soldier, army, or troop.' In this writing, the author intends to address this subject by seeking assistance from the text of the Shahnameh.

By invoking the rules of text correction, our argument for choosing the transcription "Delir" might be considered complete and final; however, since almost all the manuscripts under review — with slight differences — show the transcription of the word "Peri," it might be more correct to take a look at the meaning and usage of the word "Peri" in the Shahnameh, as well as the semantic connection of this verse (one by one came the auspicious Soroush...
