Source-reportedMeaning: โgoodnessโ + โkept in memoryโ
Borrowed from Proto-Saka, though ultimately uncertain. Harmatta posits Proto-Saka *ล ษแธฤsa, from *ลกษแธฤi (โgoodnessโ) + *ฤsฤ (โkept in memoryโ) (whence Late Khotanese [script needed] (ฤsฤ)), however the Proto-Saka would form would have been *ฤsฤydi. Cognate with Gandhari ๐จญ๐จ๐จ๐จฏ (ลuแธasa).
