Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the unknown etymology of “ršt’wc’r” a Sogdian word, which literally means consolation, condolence, sympathy, based on a close comparing and studying of some Middle Iranian words in both Eastern Middle Iranian languages (e.g. Khotan-Saka and Bacterian) and Western Middle Iranian languages (e.g. Middle Persian and Parthian).
