Proto-Indo-Iranian[edit]
Reconstruction[edit]
Sanskrit शश (śaśa) is from an earlier *शस (śasa), with the first sibilant influencing the second.[1] The distant assimilation of Proto-Indo-Aryan *s to *ś in the neighborhood of another *ś in Sanskrit observed in Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćasás > Proto-Indo-Aryan *śasás > Sanskrit शश (śaśá) is also found in *swáćuras > Proto-Indo-Aryan *swáśuras > Sanskrit श्वशुर (śváśura).[2] The second consonant of the Iranian descendants is /h/, pointing to PII *ćasás.
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Indo-European *ḱesós (“grey; hare”). Compare Latin cānus, Old English hara (English hare), Old Prussian sasnis (“hare”).
