Etymology
From Proto-Iranian *kas- (“to be small, diminish, lessen”), of uncertain further origin; compare perhaps German hager (“gaunt”) and Lithuanian kašėti (“to lessen, become thin, dry, weaken”).[1][2] Cognate with که (keh, “small”), Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬯𐬫𐬀𐬵 (kasyah, “smaller, lesser”), Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ks, “small(er), less(er), young(er)”), Nayini käs (“small”), Bactrian κισατο (kisato, “least, youngest”), Baluchi [script needed] (kisān, kasān, “small”), Sanskrit कशु (kaśu, “a name denoting 'the Small One'”), and Old Armenian կէս (kēs, “half; in part”), an Iranian borrowing.
