খেশ

• খেস (khes) — uncommon

Borrowed from Classical Persian خویش (xʷēš, “own”) from Middle Persian NPŠE / 𐭭𐭯𐭱𐭤 (xwēš), a compound from Proto-Iranian *hwaypaθyah, with the phonetic change resulting in unattested but assumed Middle Persian *xwēbš > xwēš. The first element of the compound is akin to Old Persian [script needed] (huva), from Proto-Iranian *hwá, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *swá (“reflexive pronoun”), from Proto-Indo-European *swé. Compare Bengali খোদ (khōd, “self”).
