بیشه

See also: پیشہ‎, پیسہ‎, پیشه‎, تیشه‎, and پیسه‎

Persian

Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (wyšk' /wēšag/). Cognate to Central Kurdish بیشە‎ (bîşe, “forest”) and Northern Kurdish bîşe (“forest”), Related to Latvian mežs (“forest”), Proto-Slavic *meďà (“boundary of a field”) and the borrowed Proto-Finnic *meccä (“forest”), Ottoman Turkish میشه‎ (meşä, “forest”), Azerbaijani meşə (“forest”), ultimately going back to Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (“middle”, adjective). For the variation b ⇌ m in the onset compare Middle Persian wnpšk' (wanafšag) some of the descendants of which point to a byform *manafšak. This etymology is incomplete.
