Persian
Etymology
Henning suggests a possible Sogdian root, citing the Christian Sogdian phrase snqs'r bw - 'to be stoned', where the second element would be the Sogdian directional postposition -sār as seen in words like mrts'r 'hither', 'skys'r 'upward', etc., although qualifying that "it is difficult to say whether been borrowed either from Persian or Sogdian, or whether common inheritance in both languages."
