    Though mostly limited to a more or less small group of words also recorded in current Persian dictionaries (e.g. gardešt ‘walk’, bālešt ‘cushion’), the diffusion of št-deverbatives (or nominal derivatives) is much larger than generally admitted. Today we find a few in usage in Tehrāni and in Modern Spoken Persian, but they are more consistently documented in the eastern areas of the Iranian plateau: e.g. in Sistān, particularly in the dialect of Saraxs, where one even finds an unetymological final ‑t in the numeral šәšt ‘six’.

Etymology 2

[edit]

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (swš /⁠suš⁠/, “lung”). Cognate with Avestan 𐬯𐬎𐬱 (suš, “lung”), Pashto سږى (sëģay),Southern Kurdish سۊە (süe /⁠süa⁠/), Northern Kurdish sîh (/⁠sīh⁠/), Gurani سِسی (sisî /⁠sisī⁠/) and Ossetian сос (sos, “hollowed; lung”).
