Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (wyšk' /⁠wēšag⁠/). Cognate to Central Kurdish بیشە (bîşe, forest) and Northern Kurdish bîşe (forest), Related to Latvian mežs (forest), Proto-Slavic *meďà (boundary of a field) and the borrowed Proto-Finnic *meccä (forest), Ottoman Turkish میشه (meşä, forest), Azerbaijani meşə (forest), ultimately going back to Proto-Indo-European *médʰyos (middle, adjective). For the variation bm in the onset compare Middle Persian wnpšk' (wanafšag) some of the descendants of which point to a byform *manafšak. This etymology is incomplete.
