Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: پایه ساز
Greetings,

Here's the sentence:
اسطوره ها ایده آلها و باورهای انسان را نشان می دهند و پایه ساز و موجد بسیاری از دینها بوده اند.

What is the most correct way to spell پایه ساز in Persian, please? With the “Zero width non-joiner”? I.e. پایه‌ساز?

All the best, and many thanks,
