Xovar (Gabar: քուար, IPA: *kʰɔwɑr) is the Hunnish god of War. He is mentioned in the The History of the World of Alowan among other worshipped deities.
Etymology
His name is probably cognate to the Persian god Ahura Mazda. Thus, the word may have been loaned from Soğd (𐼉𐼇𐼘) xwr *xowar "sun" and/or the Soğd cognate of Ahura "lord."
