Ab-Zohr
The Ab-Zohr (āb-zōhr) is the culminating rite of the greater ''Yasna'' service, the principal Zoroastrian act of worship that accompanies the recitation of the ''Yasna'' liturgy.
As described in the liturgy that accompanies the procedure, the rite constitutes a symbolic offering (''zohr'' < ''zaoϑra'') to the waters (''aban'' < ''apas'') in order to purify them.
==Technical terms==
The technical terms Middle Persian ''ab-zohr'' and Avestan ''apé zaoϑra'' literally mean "offering to water" (''ab'', water; ''zohr'', offering; ''cf'' Apas). The words of the expression have Indo-Iranian roots. The Parsi (Indian Zoroastrian) name for the procedure is ''djor-melavi'' (Gujarati, ''djor'': strength, ''melavi'': to introduce), which reflects the symbolic purpose of the "offering to water", which is to give it "strength" by purifying it (see Symbolism and Purpose, below). By metathesis 'ab-zohr' is pronounced ''ab-zor'' in the Zoroastrian Dari dialect.
The procedure is also called the ''parahaoma'' rite, reflecting the technical name of the liquid being prepared and consecrated during the ritual. In the 9th-12th century texts of Zoroastrian tradition the procedure is also occasionally referred to as the ''hom-zohr'', here also reflecting the use of the haoma plant in the rite.
