[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]- sénde (Yasin)
Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Perhaps related to Sanskrit सिन्धु (sindhu, “the Indus river”); the Sanskrit word may be a loan from Burushaski.[1] Compare also Shina سِن (sin, “river”), Ushojo سِن (sin, “river”), Domaaki [script needed] (sina, “river”), which are probably loans from Burushaski or from the same source as the Burushaski term.
