Etymology

From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "psu" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., from Sanskrit क्षीर (kṣīra), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *kṣiHrám, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kšiHrám, possibly from the BMAC substrate.[1]. Compare Pali khīra, Assamese গাখীৰ (gakhir, milk). Doublet of शीर (śīr), a borrowing from Persian.
