پسر

• پسی (posē) (dialectal, Sistan)

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (BREl) / [Book Pahlavi needed] (pwsl /⁠pusar⁠/, “son”), formed from 𐭡𐭥𐭤 (pus [BRE], “son”) on the model of kinship term pairs such as [Book Pahlavi needed] (AH), [script needed] (blʾtl' /⁠brādar⁠/). The Middle Persian is in turn from Old Persian 𐎱𐎢𐏂 (p-u-ç /⁠puça⁠/). Cognate of Sanskrit पुत्र (putra).
