Etymology

From Middle Persian KYPA / sng (sang, “stone, rock”). Cognate with Parthian (Manichaean) ʾsng‏ (asang, “stone”), Avestan 𐬀𐬯𐬀𐬥‏ (asan-, “stone”), 𐬀𐬯𐬆𐬥𐬔𐬀‏ (asənga-, “stone”), Old Persian 𐎠𐎰𐎥 (aθaⁿga-, “stone, rock”), Median *asan- (“stone”) (> Old Persian 𐎠𐎿𐎴 (asan-, “stone”)), Khotanese [script needed] (sam̥gga-, “stone”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”), because of the cutting sharpness of stone.
