سيند

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-Iranian *síndʰuš (“river; stream”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ḱiesdʰ- (“to drive away; to go away”) but more likely an ancient borrowing from the BMAC substrate. Used to refer to rivers in general, it is also used as an endonym for the Indus. The related اباسین (Abâsin, “Indus Father, Indus-Father”) is more frequently used to refer to the Indus River by name, and is also used as an alternative name for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or to refer to the Indus region as a whole.
