There is a story about YIma being the first person to be killed

or " sacrificed " from which possibly, the story of Jesus Christ has been

woven.

Dear Mark,

 

Avestan x$aêta- ($ = sh) is an adjective meaning " bright, radiant,

glorious " ; it is used for various gods and also for humans, but

specifically for Yima.

The issues about this was that the phrase Yima- x$aêta- " radiant Yima "

gives Jam-$îd in New Persian. The same second member is also present in

the new Persian word xwor-$îd " sun " (etymologically: the radiant sun).

 

Best,

Agnes
