'P' expresses 'purity' and 'protection' why it expresses such concepts is unknown except that as a 'labial' it may be a kind of gateway to the mouth which 'purifies' and 'protects'.

'P' expresses 'purity' and 'protection' within the light of the 'Vedas' where the only 'protection' is 'purity' hence 'purity' is the primal meaning of 'P' and 'protection' a secondary meaning.

 

 

'Pr' expresses that which reaches ( r ) purity ( p ) as in that which 'protects' and this expands as 'Pura' meaning 'rampart' and 'fort' and 'city' all of which seems to express 'protection'.

 

'Pr' meaning to 'protect' also means that which is 'full' hence its expansion as 'Pura' whose meaning is 'city' could also mean that which is 'full' as in that which is 'populated'.
