سيند

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *síndʰuš (“river; stream”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ḱiesdʰ- (“to drive away; to go away”) but more likely an ancient borrowing from the BMAC substrate . Used to refer to rivers in general, it is also used as an endonym for the Indus. The related اباسین‎ (Abâsin, “Indus Father, Indus-Father”) is more frequently used to refer to the Indus River by name, and is also used as an alternative name for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or to refer to the Indus region as a whole.
