واز

واز (waz)

1. open
2. wide

Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾpʾc), 𐫀𐫁𐫀𐫝 (ʾbʾc /⁠abāz⁠/, “back, again, re-”).

واز • (wâz)

1. (chiefly Dari) open, open wide

In Classical Persian, both باز (bāz) and واز (wāz), variants of the same etymon, were in use. The former is now more common in the Iranian standard language and the latter in the Afghani standard, although the contracted وا (vâ) is also common in colloquial Iranian speech. Tajik usually uses the unrelated кушода (kušoda), equivalent to Iranian Persian گشوده (gošude), which is now archaic both in Iranian and Afghan usage and mainly reserved for poetry.
