Etymology[edit]
From an earlier form *Vayaspasika, ultimately from Scythian *Bagaspasika (literally “servant of God/the Lord”), composed of a cognate of Khotanese vvūv (“lord”), from Iranian *Baga (cf. Old Persian 𐏎 (Baga)) + a cognate of Khotanese spaśś (“to look”), spaśa (“observer”).[1]
Compare with the Indo-Scythian proper names 𐨬𐨅𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨭𐨁𐨀 (veśpaśia), 𐨬𐨅𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨭𐨁 (veśpaśi), and 𐨤𐨁𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨯𐨿𐨪𐨁 (piśpasri).
