Bactrian

Etymology

Likely from Old Persian 𐎮𐎡𐎱𐎡 (di-i-p-i /⁠dipi⁠/, inscription), probably via an intermediate source. The Old Persian term was also borrowed from Elamite 𒁾 (tippi, document, script), from Akkadian 𒁾𒁍𒌝 (ṭuppum, tablet, document, letter), from Sumerian 𒁾 (dub, tablet).[1] Compare Ashokan Prakrit 𐨡𐨁𐨤𐨁 (dipi) and 𑀮𑀺𑀧𑀺 (lipi), whence Sanskrit लिपि (lipi, writing, document, script).
