Sogdian[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- 𐼱𐼲𐼾𐼴𐽀 (βɣpwr /βaɣpūr/)
Etymology[edit]
Likely borrowed from Bactrian βαγοπουρο (bagopouro /βaɣpūr/), from βαγο (bago /βaɣ/, “God, Lord”) + πουρο (pouro /pūr/, “son”), possibly a calque of Chinese 天子 (tiānzǐ, “emperor [of China]”, literally “son of heaven”). Equivalent to 𐼱𐼲𐼷 (βɣy /βaɣi/, “God, Lord”) + 𐼱𐼲𐼾𐼹𐽀𐼰𐼸 (βɣpδrʾk /piθrē, pišē/, “son”). Doublet of 𐫁𐫄𐫛𐫢𐫏𐫏 (bɣpšyy /βaɣpəšē/) and 𐼂𐼄𐼔𐼌𐼘𐼊 (βɣpδry /βaɣpəθrē, βaɣpəšē, βaɣpiši/). Cognate with Parthian 𐫁𐫃𐫛𐫇𐫍𐫡 (bgpwhr /baγpuhr/, “son of God, Jesus”).
